Communication skills matter, sorry.
Sometimes I'm tempted to suggest that my communication skills are just fine, it's their comprehension skills that need some work...
I see. Communication is tricky.
Clear communication is not easy…
Successful communication depends on participants understanding eachother. You'll notice that the context of my comment was replying to a person who stated that they are not a programmer. Filling my post with unnecessarily precise lingo would work to undermine my goal which is to convey a basic idea.
Great points, it's so tricky to communicate though.
Not just communicate well yourself, but also to understand what someone else is communicating poorly.
No you don't understand. Or if you do, you are really bad at communicating.
when other people can't understand what you communicated , most of the times, it is fair to say that it indicates your communication incompetence instead of the other way around.
At a certain point, if someone doesn't understand what you're communicating, it's a problem with your communication and not with them. Personally I still don't understand what you're trying to say; it wouldn't hurt for you to expand on your point if you want someone to respond in a useful way.
