There is a lot that is not clear in the English language:
Words have different meanings:
Jay Doubleyou: why is english so different from other languages? part one: vocab
The grammar doesn't make much sense:
Jay Doubleyou: why is english so different from other languages? part two: grammar
Newspaper headlines can be impossible to understand:
Jay Doubleyou: ambiguous newspaper headlines
And:
Syntactic Ambiguity - Definition and Examples
English literature, poetry, art and cinema is full of double-meaning:
Jay Doubleyou: ambiguity
There's also double-meaning in politics:
Jay Doubleyou: ambiguity in politics - hong kong
Jay Doubleyou: ambiguity in politics - part two
This is ambiguity:
ambiguity Meaning, definition in Cambridge English Dictionary
Ambiguity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Back to the ambiguities in the English language:
Jay Doubleyou: pragmatics: it ain't what you say it's the way that you say it
But perhaps it's just human nature:
