so many people seem to confuse understanding with excusing

I'm getting more and more cranky about that. I'm tired of having to add a little something about how I'm not excusing every time I say I understand something suboptimal lest someone gets the wrong idea. They're two entirely different words and two entirely different concepts, for heaven's sake. And when did trying to understand become a bad thing?

End of rant.
