Why Do People Say "Let Me Be CLEAR"...Because They Aren't

By

In real esate we need to be clear when we talk and write, otherwise we can confuse people. Clear things can become blurry.

"Let me make myself clear", it seems like everyone says this today. Why? Do they assume you are not telling the truth in the first place? Or....are we just bumbling fools that mess up everything we write or say. 

Well it used to be that people made mistakes when they said things by either speaking too fast or putting emphasis on their syllables incorrectly. Oh well...

We all thought auto correct on our text messages and emails and letters would help us stay out of trouble. Well.....apparently not...read on.

Does AUTO CORRECT and Voice Dictation seem like a great process in theory but do you spend more time correcting the auto correct and sometimes strange or even "embarrassing" words go out in your texts and emails? The dictation typo is a new American phenomenon. (Photo: OK from Pixabay)

How Does Auto Correct Work?

Think of Auto Correct as this: There is a little elf in your phone working VERY HARD to correct your messages but is in fact quite drunk.

Do you need help in selling or buying a home so that little elf does not mess things up? Have you noticed some Realtors say they will "Sell Your House For More"? What on earth does that clearly mean and for more than what? What everyone needs is a "Clear REALTOR®" that speaks in human terms and not with hyperbole or conflicted meanings. Give me, Jeff Masich, REALTOR a call to help you get it done!

Yeah, it’s like if you’re going to be clear, you don’t need to tell me because I’ll already know…

People that say "Let me make mysel clear" makes the listener roll their eyes and think "this is going to get confusing" if the speaker has to say that as a prelude. We must be strong Laura. Jeff

Hey Lew. The artificial intelligence has dfferent ideas of it's own. After all in was it a "sale" or was it on "Sale". Who knows? What the Hello! Jeff

Good morning, Jeff. So true. I hate auto-correct. Half the time it's incorrect, especially when it comes to punctuation. And I love your point about "let me be clear." It's along the lines of "to tell the truth."

Righto Nina. A speaker should never use a prelude "Let me be clear". You already know that what follows that prelude will be jibberish of the worst kind and the listener will be more unclear that ever as the speaker "dances" on. Jeff

Hello Jeff - the burn in hello reply is a familiar one but remains a snicker-worthy auto-correct outrageous examples.

Good morning Jeff. The only thing auto-correct has done for me is improve my proofreading as the drunken elf and I are seldom on the same page. And I need more practice proofreading. Enjoy your day.

Those drunken elves do try, until they fall asleep and all "Hell'o'" breaks out. Jeff

The auto-correct only works if we then make sure to correct any errors!

You are "write" or "right" about that Kat. Always make the "write" decision. Jeff
