Call centre monkey - "could you confirm your address?"
Larry -"No: I can tell you my address, and you can confirm it." Every time. I used to give a little lecture on transitive/intransitive verbs, too.

I really hope you did. I really do.
It would almost make it worth becoming a call centre monkey for.

Call centre monkey is right
(s)he has an address on record with your name, and wants you to confirm to them that this address is still correct.

-which they* alone can do after I have told them my address.
I cannot confirm it unless they tell me the address they have first.

*Please excuse use of plural in place of gender specific pronoun.

Wrong answer
You should be asking them what they think it is, as otherwise how can you possibly confirm it?

Sometimes I do just that. But then I have to explain that I can tell them, and they can confirm, etc.
Not one has ever argued. Every one has agreed to suggest a revision of the script to their supervisor. I suspect fibs have been told to me. The fun wore of a long time back. Now it is My Mission

I assume,Cockers, you had not read my previous reply to GreedyOstrich.
