5. Most uses of words are seldom of the dictionary def
When a person uses a word their intent may not be recieved. For both the originator and the recipient bring their own conceptions to the table. In public forums this effect is far more difficult to account for than in more erudite enviroments. Thus efforts must be taken to take these into account.
