We really need to be very precise on our instructions.
What sounds like a very simple statement can have major issues in the
actual meaning.
This can make a big difference in the written or verbal statements we make.
So, stop and think before you speak.
It could save you a lot of money.
Hi William, Thanks for the reminder on how fickle our language can be. Precise instructions are very important.
Ha ha, very funny William now on a side note did you know that Tomato or Paradise in Hungarian is the same word... so if you hear a Hungarian say they want to Tomato and want to eat Paradise it is the same word to them:)Endre

Ah yes, perception is everything. If you put 5 artists in front of a mighty Oak, each will paint it differently.
Good morning William. I really appreciate the morning chuckle. Have a great day.
William,
This is so true, precision and perfect spelling is key. Wishing you a great Sunday. A

This is a good reminder to share. It is so easy to have communication gaps.
Hello William, You got me laughing so must at the fruit or the color. That made my day!
And for your education...I just learne...
orange was only a fruit, and not considered its own color, until recent decades.
