A: How old are you? 26?

B: Exactly!

Can 'exactly' be used in this case? Like 'right on the money'?


Thank you.

A: How old are you? 26?

B: Exactly!

Can 'exactly' be used in this case? Like 'right on the money'? I would say it's not a natural response. Not unless today is B's birthday.

Why would it be used if it were B's birthday? Like, B has been living for exactly 26 years?

What would you say in this case, if someone guessed your age correctly?


Thanks.
