Language-based misunderstandings are the worst, agreed. Because then it’s nobody’s fault but everyone pays the price.

However, there’s a modicum of positivity in the fact that the imperfectness of language allows for multiple meanings when sometimes you really want there to be multiple meanings. Especially when you’re not sure what you’re trying to say.

I guess from that it follows that humans are imperfect (duh), and that the failings of language are perhaps good camouflage for our own failings. Maybe it’s good that language is bad.
