its not my job to make sure other people interpret my words correctly. Yes, actually, it is.

Let me lay this out for you the way it's taught to communications students. All communication has a sender (the one trying to communicate) and a receiver (the one being communicated with). It is ALWAYS the duty of the *sender* to make sure the receiver gets the message.

This is why when you take classes on public speaking, they go over not just the words you should be using but also body language and tone. Because it is YOUR responsibility to make sure the message you send is as clear as possible. This is true 100% of the time in every single culture worldwide.

If you are not going to put in the effort to make sure your communication is understood, stop communicating.
