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

    You're right, I asked a rhetorical question to make a point.

    So why the denial then?

    Because most people know what a rhetorical question is?

    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.
