It sure could be, but maybe the fact is that we simply do not
understand what you are talking about? If you are not understood it is
completely useless to repeat over and over again what you are saying,
it might however help to use the language of the people you are
talking too. As you might undoubtedly conclude from my writings I am
one of those poor non native speakers, who have to settle of a very
simple usage of English in order to communicate...
This said I completely understand your frustration about not being
understood ore honored at your true value. As a matter of fact few of
us are and communication problems play a major role in this.
