fuzzy language

There was a man looking for an object through a matchmaker, and the matchmaker chose a girl for him to like.

The matchmaker told the man that the lady is 1.56 meters tall and has good labor skills, but her appearance is nothing at present.

These conditions are in line with the man's expectations, but when he officially met, he was shocked. This lady is lame and has no nose. On closer inspection, she is missing an arm. In fact, a disabled person feels that he has been cheated by the matchmaker, and he is very embarrassed: he is not so bullying, so he goes to the matchmaker to ask for an intermediary fee.

The matchmaker smiled and said to him, "You can't blame me. I'm not lying to you. I made it clear to you from the beginning. " Look, this woman is really lame, and her legs are different in length. She: When she walked, her short leg was 1.5 meters when she landed, and her long leg was 1.6 meters when she landed. Yes, besides, this lady has an arm, but this arm has a good face. Right? A hand? At the same time, I didn't lie to you. Isn't there a nose under your eyes? When I say there is nothing at the moment, doesn't that mean there is no nose?

Of course it's a joke. You can't believe it.

But there is some truth behind this joke. ...

First of all, people's psychological nature tends to be optimistic and beautiful, and they rarely consider disability when choosing. This person has not considered this aspect. Exploited a loophole for the matchmaker.

Secondly, there is a special type of vague language in our language, which shows ambiguous situations, such as 1.56 meters, for example, there is nothing in front of us, and there are several situations that we don't want to see, such as baldness, lame, one arm and blindness.

There is also a story, the community hired a doorman, but the community lost electric cars one after another, and the community owner asked the property to discuss. So the boss picked on me, "I paid you to watch the door, but your door was not good." The community lost several electric cars and deducted your salary this month. "

The old man said, "Boss, you are unreasonable. Go and have a look. The gate there is still intact. Why do you want to deduct my money? " Does losing an electric car have anything to do with me?

If you let me see the electric car, I have to pay more. "

The doorman and the boss have different understandings of watching the gate. The boss's understanding is that watching the gate is to prevent outsiders from taking things out of the door, or bad people or animals outside the door from coming in to hurt people or things in the community. The janitor understands that watching the gate is to prevent outsiders from removing or destroying it.

Fuzzy language is easy to cause ambiguity and contract disputes, so it must be used carefully.
