    Understanding each others’ definitions is key to communication, so I’m with you on this one. I’ll often get accused of “you know what I meant!”, when I really didn’t and was honestly asking for clarification.

    Kids, don’t take ontology classes even if your friends say it’s cool.

      “Bring it to me.”

      "Which one? I see 5 of them here.

      “Oh, I meant the blue one.”
