[quote=Anonymous]Ugh, I can commiserate. I serve on a nonprofit board with a bunch of people who have various connections to the institution it’s affiliated with. Some of them are smart. Some of them so frequently misunderstand written and spoken vocabulary (as native English speakers) that we end up with completely different interpretations of events and plans. It’s exhausting. We’re no longer in an era in which you can assume that educated professionals have a certain level of intelligence or awareness of their blind spots. The worst part is that if you clarified that would probably only further confuse them and/or insult them. Make your communications plainer…but also, that’s a word that’s really straightforward and pretty much only used in the way you used it, so I’m annoyed on your behalf.[/quote]
