Even if we take particular care to communicate what we fully intended – picking our way through the maze of our minds to find the right words – we have no control over the chaotic mass that may be the receiver’s brain, and so we are left in doubt whether the received message was actually understood as intended.
If you have been taught how to read and write, you probably learned the distinction between where from wear. Somewhere along the line – Grade Six maybe – you were even taught about homophones, (along with homonyms, synonyms and antonyms), and to take care not to mistake them. These were challenging concepts, but to 11-year-old boys homophones (and homonyms) were especially noteworthy.
