I can&#x27;t find the study I was thinking of which involved the extreme disparity between the sender&#x27;s self rating for their ability to convey an intent and the receiver&#x27;s impression.<p>Here is a similar abstract:
<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pro.sagepub.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;56&#x2F;1&#x2F;1491.abstract" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pro.sagepub.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;56&#x2F;1&#x2F;1491.abstract</a><p>Note that emotion is also conflated with aspects like priority and whether the response is a criticism or positive acknowledgement which will affect future interactions or even immediate attempts to &quot;repair&quot; non-existent faults.<p>I personally find it slightly easier to communicate with non-native speakers over email as any bilingual must have more experience handling ambiguous communication.<p>In working with native speakers in open floor plans, I have seen hilarious results that I would have found all the more hilarious if I were further away from the projectiles and had fully independent finances.<p>(But I will concede that English is a good language for talking abstractly about subjects that are clearly neutral where it matters little if nuances are misunderstood.)
