Ambiguity
Nothing in English has been ridiculed as much as the ambiguous use of words, unless it be the ambiguous use of sentences.
Ben Franklin said, `` Clearly spoken, Mr. Fogg.
You explain English by Greek ''.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan said, `` I think the interpreter is the hardest to be understood of the two ''.
And a witty American journalist remarked over a century ago what is even more true today, `` Many a writer seems to think he is never profound except when he can't understand his own meaning ''.
