Men speak in C; Women speak in Java?

Failures to communicate indicate a failure of a two way process. The critical communication skill one must strengthen, in order to function effectively, to help infer meaning is the development of filters.

Sounds like the author is too bloody lazy to put resources into his filter development sector. :P

That is OK, walking around confused is a fine state of play: until one enters the real world and must subsist on one's own.

For example:

I learned after an iteration or two, when working with my Brit friends, that:

"Thank you for that" when uttered in a meeting by the chairman

Actually meant

"Thanks for wasting your breath and our time with that last comment."

Nuance, idiom, inflection . . . all that neat stuff is all decipherable if one

One asks for clarification when uncertain. Cutting out steps is fine, for efficiency, but when loss of value in content is at stake, is it too much to ask to exercise the feedback loop? He is not paying for, or being paid by, the word count in a conversation.

In the example conversation, the lad asked for clarification, and for some reason, seems put out by having to put forth the effort.

So, I ask myself how will he communicate with people who he did NOT grow up with?

I think I would entitle his post:

My suggestion?
