The Importance of Oral Punctuation

 Trying to take my mind to the less contentious,  I recall this interaction that took place in a car in which I was a passenger:

  The driver asked his front-seat passenger to check her window for oncoming traffic. She uttered two words, no and cars.  She meant to report "No.  Cars. "  He heard "No cars."   Kinda close encounter, but no collision.
