Does 'You can do' not clearly mean 'Yes, you could do that' in America? Just been told its very hard to understand what I'm trying to say.

However, it was by someone trying to patronise me. But it wld be good to know. Cannot recall an American saying 'can do.' or 'will do.' now.

I might say "Can do" or "Will do" as a response to a request. If someone told me simply, "You can do" that wd sound wrong to me.

Can you give an example of the way you would use that?

If I asked, I.e. "Can I go 2 the store?" & answer was just "you can do," I wd be like "I can do *what?*" Wd sound strange.

Ah, OK. It is a genuine difference then. That would be perfectly normal here. She was still being nasty tho.
