   If you start a new, original Tweet with @somebody as the beginning text, the Tweet is called a "reply" . . but it's an original, new Tweet, so why does Twitter refer to it as a "reply"?

   Because you included @somebody at the beginning of the Tweet.

   Original twitter always included the account names in replies - and it's why you'll see people put a fullstop at the beginning of tweets
