I often see rhetoric stating that its more important how people perceive what you’re saying, as opposed to how you intended to have it sound.
I wonder how I could edit my question to make this more clear? Where I live this is a common concept. But for other people maybe not. I’ve done a great job of confusing everyone so far.
oh whoops, I meant like how could I better phrase the question to make it make more sense.
I agree with you about the nuance part. That’s a very important part of communication too, I think, just being able to understand the nuance in things like this.
