And by the way, you are one of the most verbally articulate people I've ever met. I know you vehemently disagree with me, but it's true, and is one of the things I've long admired about you (and sought to emulate).
Here's the thing: communication is about more than being able to articulate your point. It's about being able to communicate an idea---from your brain to someone else's. Which requires that you present it in such a way that the other person can hear it. Given how often my interpersonal conflicts come down to having inadequately or incompletely expressed something that the other person deems crucial, and how often when I *do* succeed in articulating my point clearly (from my end), I get accused of "being a lawyer," and therefore my point gets completely lost (to the other person) in the process, I am pretty well convinced I suck some major unwiped ass in the communication department. No matter how well I can turn a phrase.
