Gunny Highway's commanding officer once said, "Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it."
In the world of news, reporters, and media, we can say "be careful what you said, you might get misquoted."
I have noticed in some print news that personalities get misquoted at times. It may be due to the need for sensationalism or simply because the idea was misinterpreted. An this misquotes often put people in hot water. I was. Well, not yet anyway. My boss did not report to the office the day I was misquoted, so I am safe... for the time being.
So, when you speak to a bunch of people in a commotion, please remember to speak clearly and audibly. And be sure they got exactly what you said. And be as sure that they understood what you meant.
Have a great time!

People are mind readers by nature, and they are terrible at it. It's not only words that they "misquote", but also your actions, the way you stand, walk and dress. Mind reading is 99.99% wrong yet people judge each other based on it. Nice post! Have a nice day! - www.officerogue.blogspot.com
