Just to make sure I’m understanding you correctly, you’re talking about an exchange like this?
Person 1: It sure is hot today.
Person 2: I know, right?
Thinking about some other conversational ways to respond, I think saying, “It sure is, isn’t it?” or, “Don’t I know it!” feel pretty similar. I wonder what it is that makes us ask rhetorical questions like that.







Yeah, the US and Europe do DST a couple weeks apart, presumably because of latitude differences but it could also be spite, I guess.
