I can't be blamed for people's misunderstandings due to illogical emotional reactions, nor can Rekna. If you don't understand english, you should be at home studying instead of out drinking.

Enjoy your world alone then. You can, and will be held responsible for people's misunderstandings in a world populated by other people. I view it is just as much a failure of the speaker as the receiver is the meaning is unclear. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY as the speaker to anticipate how the recipient will misunderstand or misinterpret what you've said and speak clearly enough to avoid such things.
I'm very well versed in English, I have a very logical emotional process and yet I still don't think that blaming the receiver for misunderstanding what you've said is fair or responsible.
Words get a lot of people in trouble when they think that it's "not my responsibility to make sure I'm understood."
