Not meaning to beat on you firebird, but you have presented me with an intro to vent one of my main pet peeves.
It seems everyone is in a big hurry today. They can't get it done or said or completed fast enough. Problem is, the conveyance of information sometimes is either shortened up or speeded up to the point that nobody can understand it. You know perfectly well what particular parts you are talking about and in your mind, you think others should automatically understand it also, without any detailed information.

Same way with passing verbal information on the telephone or in person. The person giving me his phone number knows it very well, well enough to deliver it to me in about 3 nanoseconds. Problem is, I've never heard it before, so it takes me a little time to put it together in my brain or to write it down. Many times, I have had to listen to a phone message 3 or 4 times to understand the phone number that the caller is leaving for me. For God's sake people, slow down and think about what you're doing. Try to understand that the person to whom you are conveying information starts with a blank slate and has to assimilate the information in his/her brain or has to write it down....and that takes time.
