Micawber, RE: "You can't expect to persuade someone when you use incorrect terminology. People don't know what you are talking about."

Have seen extremely high IQ people use the wrong words when they make a point simply because they are more focused on the interesting concepts they are trying to convey and so they tend to dismiss the small details of a word or two. Have seen this happen so often with conceptual people, that sometimes I automatically translate their words correctly for them in my head in order to stay focused on their concepts. Even if I don't know them, sometimes I can do this. Some people have said to me later, "you know I meant to say such and such a word." And I'm always like, "I already knew that and did the translation in my head." They generally are surprised I can do this and are appreciative they don't have to spin cycles on the small stuff, and can instead move forward to the essence of their concept. Have learned to just stay ahead of their small errors and they are so appreciated when I do this. His concepts were pretty clear to me, and possibly others too.

On a different note, it's tax season again - ever notice how people get grumpy during this time of the year - the IRS needs to simplify the process.

Regards,
Amy J
