  • Though language is an effective means of communication, it’s not perfect.

    To use an example, there was a meme about a literature professor quoting from a book and telling students what the author meant by mentioning the curtains being blue in a scene. As they go on and on about the melancholy and sadness the author was known to experience at the time, Samuel L Jackson busts in through the door and yells “The color was blue because the curtains were blue, motherfucker!”

    Or am I remembering it wrong? Anyway, language is open to interpretation and as such, people will interpret it openly.
