mr. semantics

Ohna has often commented on the irony of a useless communicator like me making a living out of studying communication. I've always thought, though, that it might be what you'd expect. Sometimes you get interested in things when they go wrong.

The latest example is now on my head. The barber thought the missing constituent in my explicature was 'all over my head including the top' when I thought he'd realise I meant 'just the back and sides'. I realised his mistake after he had dragged the mower right over the top of my head.
