But what I mean when I say "you misunderstood me" is that she misunderstood it. That could mean I poorly formed the words or she poorly received the words. The only point is that the concept wasnt properly understood.




Wouldn't it be better to say "There must have been a misunderstanding between the two of us" or something like that?

Know your audience. If there’s any possibility they’ll interpret your words in a way that you didn’t intend, the burden is on you to express your thoughts in a way that minimizes or eliminates that risk.

“You misunderstood me” could be interpreted as an attack or complaint or an expression of fault with your audience.

How about…
“My bad. What I meant was…”
“I probably didn’t express my thoughts clearly. What I meant was…”
“I saw something shiny and my thoughts came out jumbled. What I meant was…”

Unless your audience is unwilling to listen and understand, you now have an opportunity to restate your thoughts with as much detail as necessary.

I do this all the time, b/c sometimes I dont word good.  I'll say "Maybe I didn't word that correctly" or "Maybe I'm not explaining myself correctly"
