If you really look at it, "Talk" makes the most sense.

@Safe-Haven It's better to let the asker figure it out themselves even if it takes time than to just automatically tell them...

@Ondinana

Most times it is, But also, giving the answer and explaining why this answer is correct is a good way to help them remember it, as you are giving them a demonstration of the answer.

I completely understand your point, but sometimes I find it better to just give an explanation as to why it is correct, sorry if it bothers you. ^_^

Answer 14

It doesn't bother me, so long as you explain. But just be fore-warned that it does "bother" the OS moderators and you could get potentially banned or suspended. @Safe-Haven
