Related sad: A friend PM'd me and inquired if he should stop PMing me in the future because of my wording--I specifically recall that we've been over this before and I offered a ton of advice to how to go around with communication. It's a sad on my part because it leaves me with the impression that nothing I said makes sense and... 
This, when combined with my low self-esteem, sets me in a hole for days.
You do have a pretty distinct way of writing, but still, I can understand you pretty well. I think most folks can, too. I think sometimes it's less a case of being understood, and more a case of being heard, as when people have a very hard-baked preconception about the conversation, they might not even be seeing your actual words as much.
Tiruin! You're actually pretty good at wording and stuff, in my own experience with you at the very least. I hope it all works out \o/
Also, tiruin good speaker of good words. Might be difficult to understand sometimes, but its still possible that your friend just tends to interpret things in the worst light.
Thanks dudes. Your words help me a lot. (as well as the PMs I got; didn't expect a lot of words from many people there!) c: Thanks for balancing my insight around his words.
...It was more the words he used, that affects me, rather than the meaning I saw in between them (since I know his real intent, but how he conveyed it was...
)
Thing made me a tad sad, considering the implications of educational shows these days. We discussed this in EduPsych before...
The Dora Effect [Name as taken from the educational theme of the Dora the Explorer show].
While no literary stuff exist online--it's of significant note as it affects learning development via mainly leaving the person with a concrete thinking mindset, (ie Of A, B, and C!) without exploring the abstracted parts [ie Lacks the 'why' aspect of education, as well as the value of Critical Thinking]. It's a sad bit to me because it came as a collective term of what I've been observing in the few # of people I've met over the years.
Glad to see these things are being readily addressed though.
I'm very glad I grew up in the Sesame Street generation! \o/
Srsly loved the Count. He helped me in Math a lot. Dohohohohohoho.
Someone locked another thread for no reason
which one?
The one about if you could amend the US constitution in any way you wanted. Apparently the op wanted people to just post amendments they'd like to see without discussing them at all.
Orrrrrr... Maybe it was because you guys spent 1/3 of the thread arguing it back and fourth in a manner that would clearly never be resolved?
Bohandas, it'd be nice if you check the possible reasons to it, including personal influence if you played a role. There's always a reason for these things. And it's connected to the attitudes of the people who led to that.
