That's true limey. In the end, we just have to trust our friends to pick the lock of our meaning. I'm reading a book by Robert Hart about his version of Forest Gardening. If I wasn't persistent, his language, which is flowered with all the new agey Gaia speak, could have prevented me from learning some interesting things. Friends will do that, sit through our parenthetical phrases and unique vocabulary waiting for our meaning to appear. That doesn't mean we shouldn't attempt to refine our speech. Maybe its time to reread your Strunk and White and aim for clear and concise.
