Selective Text Responding 

When one of the participants in a texting conversation intentionally ignores certain questions or texts because of their lack of desire to answer the question or get involved in a conversation.

not responding 

A program that decides to not work for a period of time, due to it being busy or it is processing something, and sometimes no reason at all. Also, some programs can do this for forever and literally piss you off instantly and wanting to force quit the program in Task manager or in severe cases, throw your computer out the window.

Superficial Responding 

When someone says something to you, you ask them to repeat it and still don't have a clue about, so rather than asking them to repeat again, you stimulate a variety of different responses such as;
Nodding your Head
Smiling and Looking at The person
Looking Down
Agreeing
Looking Concerned

This method of reply is often useful when speaking to people with strong accents, or old people.
Dan: Wow thats a nice watch, how much was that?
Ted: What?
Dan: How much was your watch
Ted: Yes *Smiles* (Superficial Responding)

circular reasoning 

Circular reasoning is providing evidence for the validity of an assertion, which assumes the validity of the assertion.

General forms include "A is true because A is true" or "A is true because B is true, and B is true because A is true".

Often used as a mechanism to prevent an assertion from being challenged or questioned, or to "win" a debate by sending it round and round in circles.
Examples of circular reasoning:

"I'm right because I'm right."

"There isn't a problem with the rule, because if everyone obeyed it there wouldn't be a problem."

"Piracy is wrong because it's against the law, and it's against the law because it's wrong."

"X is stupid because he's an idiot."

SAT Reasoning Test

The most complex, confusing, and most important high school test ever made. The company that makes it, CollegeBoard, makes it very tricky, and it is ABSOLUTELY the most important test in high school. Despite it's name, most of it is NOT reasoning, most of the test requires prior knowledge and skills.
WTH? CollegeBoard is giving me a test that doesn't even test beyond anything I learn in college. This test is rigged. The only people who get high scores on the test study for it, defeating it's purpose. So Why am I waking up early on a Saturday to take this again? The SAT reasoning test should be banned.
