Its so easy to take things out of context .... G. I. Gurdjieff (a spiritual teacher at the turn of the century) once said that words are such an inexact form of communication that it was a wonder scientists could even speak to each other (Im sure I am only paraphrasing that from memory)..... it is so true though, what we say and mean are often misinterpreted. We can lay blame for some of this is because we all learn our respective vocabularies and dialects contextually and are thus at the mercy of the authors/speakers. What you might mean by a word may have a subtle or major variation from my own understanding or dialect....no matter how nimble ones tongue we are all bound to be misunderstood from time to time..........
