There are essentially two types of people in the world who hear/read you say something, are a bit confused, and then:
1. Decide FOR YOU what you meant & nothing you say in response matters because they're absolute goddam geniuses who know you better than you know yourself. OR...
2. ASK what you meant, then accept what you tell them, happy to have the clarification.
