Did I say speech? I said communication! Who the hell cares how  one 
communicates, so long as it's clear and concise. You can say volumes with a 
raised eyebrow!

Besides, I am right here. So much trouble in this world is caused by 
miscommunication. Look at the divorce rate. Look and see how many wars there 
are. Look at the damage parents sometimes do to their kids All this is caused 
by miscommunication!!!! If people, I don't except myself here, would just 
(((LISTEN!!!!!!!!!)))
