Discussion Groups / ESL Teaching / March 2006

The only way to change our attitude to language is to accumulate enough
evidence as to the degree to which it can be understood.  But the
evidence must not only be accumulated, it must be pressed home.   The
wild interpretations of others must not be regarded as the antics of
incompetents;  but as dangers which we ourselves only narrowly escape,
if indeed we do...   The only proper [One] attitude is to look upon a
successful interpretation, a correct understanding, as a triumph against
odds.  We must cease to regard a misinterpretation as a mere unlucky
accident.  We must treat it as the normal and probable event.
