Abstract
[Summary]: How many times have you read a Reviewer’s comments and wondered how the Reviewer could possibly have misunderstood you that way? I suspect a lot of times. I know I despair of Reviewers many times. Yet often the Reviewer has misunderstood you because you have allowed him/her to misunderstand. Work with Reviewers to eliminate such misunderstandings. Clarify your pronouns, especially ‘this’. One should not aim at being possible to understand, but at being impossible to misunderstand. (Quintillion)
