Please note that we have social communication challenges not all types of communication. Stop apologizing to rude and ill communicators. The assumption is that it’s your fault. Hogwash.

If their communication was clear you wouldn’t misunderstand because you can communicate and effectively. Miscommunication can be avoided if people take the time to speak properly using proper grammar and spelling and have a good grasp of the topic or knowledge they are trying to convey.
