AND, the onus is upon the writer to properly convey _his_ meaning to his audience.
I believe this to be the most important thing to come away from the digression thus containing. When communicating, it's well worth the time to ensure that one's ideas are communicated through the least ambiguous means possible. A little time up front saves a bunch of time explaining "what I *really* meant" afterwards... :) I'll make an exception (big of me, eh?) for non-native speakers, so long as said speakers are willing to learn from their mistakes. ;) --Danny, who's often ambiguous, though it's rarely intentional
