Communication

Here is a very important section of this blog--communication. Remember; the biggest flaw with communication is the illusion that it has tacken place. Here I will list off some ways of clerifying and making sure you let people know if you understood or not ect. I haven't put work on here for awhile and now is when I start doing that, and it will be good work too! The phrases themselves are the most important part of this page so read and momorize.
