Sometimes communication is difficult because you're tryign to express incredibly complex ideas using a complex tool such as language. The English language is ever-evolving and with over 500,000 words in [Wiktionary][wiki-dictionary-lengths] the amount of choice available to you can be overwhelming. Beyond that, the many complex ways it can be combined and misused to form prose adds yet another layer.
