I generally find that misunderstandings are more about "I said X and I thought it was only interpretable one way but apparently there was also another interpretation and that's what the listener got". I relish knowing about those, too. That's a learning moment for me. > It's not that common (at least in my group) that this is done out of malice ... I don't see that in my personal interactions either. I've seen it in business interactions enough to look out for it. I've worked for and along side ethically-challenged individuals who consider agreements subject to interpretation, to their advantage, indefinitely. (An aside - Thanks for the continued interaction here. I am enjoying it, though I should get back to work. >smile<)
