Okay, if anyone had any doubts about the perils of communication, check out this article on "Cakes Gone Wrong."
Funniest thing I read all day.
But more seriously, if a statement as specific as "please write on the cake 'Congratulations' as small as possible" is interpreted as "please write on the cake 'Congratulations as small as possible'"... well, you have to wonder how much of our everyday speech gets misheard.
Ever have someone get mad at you for something you never said? Maybe you did.
Kinda emphasizes the need for grace in any meaningful communication, doesn't it?
