Fallacies

One fallacy that I have heard most often, from my parents, is the accent fallacy. It is all based on how you use a word in a sentence. If I was to ask my mom for a favor, or if I really wanted something, she would reply with "Possibly, yes"-things like that. When I would confront her about it later on, I had the thought in my mind that she said a definite yes when in fact she just said possibly. She always loved to trick me like that and she would always win the argument, because she was the one who was right all along, where as I was the one who just interpreted the answer wrong.
