No, I'm not kidding. And it has nothing to do with. It's inherent in all forums like this between all people.
Think of some house that you know with a front yard that has a living object with bark and needles on it.
You now have a concept of that living object in your mind.
Now, with words, consider trying to convey that concept to others.
You can write "tree", but what does that convey to others?
You can write "pine tree", and that helps, but it's still not conveying the particulate concept you have in mind with much accuracy.
And that's with respect to something physical.
With abstract concepts it's arguably even more difficult.
It's important to keep those two points of possible error due to translation in mind whether writing or reading.
It's less of an issue when talking to someone on the phone, because there you can hear changes in tone, and it's easier to stop someone when something is misunderstood, to ask for clarification. When in person it's even better, because we can see each other facial expressions and body language. In this forum we have none of that. So it's very easy to misunderstand, to grasp a concept that was not conveyed, or convey a concept that you did not have in mind.
We have to work together to minimize the impact of those translation errors.
