If you want me to listen, then say something worthwhile.

Will you deliver a clear message – the one that you intend to deliver?

Or might you obscure it with words that confuse, clutter and cloud your intended message?

Are you going to speak and then say, Well, you know what I mean?

No, I don’t. I only know what I believe I heard.
