Communication is the act of sending and receiving messages. sometimes messages are communicated verbally, with words, or nonverbaly, with body language. when communication is effective, the intended message is received. when communication is ineffective, messages are unclear. describe a time when you had difficulty communicating a message. why was the intended message not received properly?

Personally, there have been many times where diction is the reason for miscommunication. For example, if both parties don't have the same level of vocabulary, there may be some miscommunication.

Also, when texting, I find it hard to convey sarcasm. For example, if someone asks something, and the other person says "No, of course not". It may be perceived as an actual answer and not sarcasm.

Hope this helps!
