Poor Communication
One of the reasons language can be so difficult is because people often fail to take the necessary time to compose a clear message. This is carelessness pure and simple, and we have all been guilty of carelessness at some point.
To understand what I mean by a careless message, envision a person with extremely bad handwriting. Now, envision that person writing a message as quickly as he or she can. Why quickly? Because, in my own personal experience, the faster the pen travels the worse the handwriting becomes.
This message gets delivered to its Recipient, but the Recipient cannot read it.
Now for the key question: has there been communication?
The Sender may presume that there has been communication, but the Recipient might well disagree.
Who's right?
The fact is that if you've delivered perfectly good information in a manner that cannot be understood by your recipient, then you've delivered nothing. In all instances, it is the responsibility of the information Provider to ensure that the message he or she sends can be understood by the Recipient. If this has not happened, then the Provider has not done his or her job.
