This is how my every conversation inevitably goes.
* Early dialogue flows easily, understanding comes easy, good progress is made for all, little time wasted on the process of communication, be it understanding what othe rparty is saying, or trying to express own thoghts.
* Progress into more specific subject matter, have to concentrate on what other party is saying, and think about choosing words when expressing own thoughts.
* Must have failed to express correctly myself, or misread/misunderstood what other party was saying.
* try to reword or restructure what was trying to say, and listen moew intently to understand.
* half hour later realise that have completely digressed from original topic, just debating pure semantics by this point, and not realty getting anywhere fast.


Whilst it does mean a  lot  to express any knowledge or opinion as correctly as can, and It's important  to understand any information or thoughts given; and the semantics of what something means is very informative in it's own right. It  is a very time consuming way to progress very slowly.
