Communication Fail

Did you mean what you wrote?

Could what you wrote be taken another way?

Are you sure that the reader will read it the way you intended?

How long were you confused by their comment before you noticed the second meaning?

Can you edit what you wrote to make your intended meaning more clear?

Did you make that edit and get a comment that shows that you failed to make yourself more clear?

In fact, did it end up making it worse?

It's a damn good thing I don't get paid to write, I'd be fired.

Post a Comment

You are a guest here when you comment. This is my soapbox, not yours. Be polite. Inappropriate comments will be deleted without mention. Amnesty period is expired.

Do not go off on a tangent, stay with the topic of the post. If I can't tell what your point is in the first couple of sentences I'm flushing it.

If you're trying to comment anonymously: Sign your work. Try this link for an explanation: https://mcthag.blogspot.com/2023/04/lots-of-new-readers.html

Anonymous comments must pass a higher bar than others. Repeat offenders must pass an even higher bar.

If you can't comprehend this, don't comment; because I'm going to moderate and mock you for wasting your time.
