Q. Were you home last night or at work?
A. Yes.
Unfortunately this is often the way my son replies to that kind of questions.

It could get worse. Immagine a reply like "
Yes. No.". Should we infer that it means:
- yes I was at home. No I wasn't at work
- yes and no. Partly at home and partly at work
- yes and no. I can't recall exactly. Or I was working in my home's neighbour yard. Or I am uncertain about the correct answer
About the lady who dind't like the simple OK message. I agree with her. Her
husband should have replied with a servile "Sure Master, as you ordered. <here goes her exact message, just in case..>".
Afterall he is her husband. (delights of marriage) A brother, son or friend should be ok with the given OK answer...
