I get annoyed when companies ask me to confirm my name and address on the phone when they mean will you tell me your name and address.
Yesterday when asked I said OK you tell me my address and I will confirm if you have it right. They were non-plussed.
It seems to me “to confirm” means to ratify or repeat an assertion ( Chambers dictionary)-surely they should tell me not me tell them.
AIBU-or just pedantic?
AIBU?
