I happened to have read this article yesterday myself, and was struck by it for another reason. English is not my husband's first language, and after 23 years we still have a debate regularly about communication clarity. When he first came here, he taught a university science course in very broken English, and I was appalled when he told me. I said,"Weren't you hard to understand? What about your students...it must have been very difficult for them!" He replied, "That's not my problem, it's their problem to understand me, not my problem to be understood." That approach has been the source of many disagreements over the years, when I've pointed out (as a person with some communication credentials) that it's the burden of the person communicating to make their message clear to the listener. I was glad to see this article, and forwarded it to my husband for his edification! It's not going to change anything, but it feels good to feel right! :) -- Kaye
