    You literally asked a question then answered it for them. Thats the definition of putting words in their mouth.

            Maybe you should look it up then. Because, if you answer it for them, it’s not really rhetorical, is it?

              I think you missed the part where I framed it as if I was having a conversation with the person? You’re clearly angry about my choice of literary devices. Sorry to upset you.

              Have a nice day.

                No, that part was very apparent. You having a make believe conversation where you spoke for the other person is the source of our entire conversation. It’s not a literary device, though, is the problem.

                Also, as long as we’re talking about literary devices immediately trying to frame anyone who disagrees with you as “angry” is a classic. Not a device from any respectable literature though of course.
