On a different note, there are two types of talk: implicit and explicit. The more explicit the words used, the clearer the message. Implicit language is often used to guide people. It is all about how you read into those words meaning. Meaning then can differ from person to person depending on their own make-up.

Take out the implicit language and consider what really is explicit. That is what you can really work with.
