It's something that both the media and governments (not forgetting employers) regularly take advantage of. Glad you can understand my words - sometimes I think I end up on the paranoid end of the stick regarding my communication! :D I wonder if anyone has ever came up with a writing style that is universally understood? Or perhaps language doesn't allow for that? I like that term “already always” :)

People have certain programmed responses which are difficult to overcome. The CIA calls it a 'slide response.' It can be difficult to write and express oneself without displeasing someone or another. In life I believe by actions, setting a good example, is better than talk in many cases. In writing I suppose being aware of semantic assumptions can help but again - can't please all the people all the time! you're words are quite fathomable to me, by the way. -Angela My husband calls this phenomenon having an ‘already always.’ People have certain programmed responses which are difficult to overcome.
