How is your hammock? Like a pastor I know, well hung.

Now there is a statement that will get your attention. What does this mean, you ask? Interpretation. It is said that the English language is hard to learn if it is your second language. The reason is that words can take on different meanings based on their context. Is there a story that explains the title in more detail? Yes, but that is for a different post.

So where am I going with this post? Interpretation is just as important for the person receiving the information as it is for the person sending it. This might sound obvious, but let's think about it for a moment. How often have you said or have heard someone say, "that is not what I meant"? A single statement can have multiple meaning based solely on the inflection of the speaker's voice and the context. As the case with the title of this blog post, interpretation can give you a good laugh. However it can also be the cause of war, political unrest, or the outcome of a sporting event.


So remember, when you are playing WBT with your friends under the new or old rules, how others interpret it may determine the length of the game!
