"No hay mayor impedimento para el avance del conocimiento que la ambigüedad de las palabras"
— Thomas Reid
Simplified Meaning:
When words are unclear or confusing, it becomes really hard to learn and understand new things. Imagine a teacher using big, vague words to explain a simple math problem. The students would have trouble understanding because the words make the explanation unclear. This confusion stops people from fully grasping the knowledge being shared. In history, misunderstandings in communication have led to big problems and conflicts. To avoid these issues, it's important to use clear and precise language so everyone can follow along easily and learn better. In everyday life, when talking to others, try to be as clear as possible, using simple and direct words, to make sure your message is understood correctly.
