Skill in communication isn't just in the effort, but in the result. If you speak loud and long, and are trying exquisitely hard to be understood, but the receiving end is still shaking their collective heads, you haven't accomplished anything. Clarify! Clarify! It's up to the person speaking to make sure they are understood. Yes, the listener has a responsibility, but the ultimate responsibility on the completion of the communication still falls to the one delivering the message. You make an excellent point.

Clarify! Clarify!
