Many things become confusing because we expect that other people are going to be confused about something that we may be confused about. In order to avoid confusion we must be sure that the other person thinks that they know what we think. Don’t you think that’s right? I’m not sure I think so but you may think that I think so and so, see how easy it is if….you just keep it simple!!!!
