The language used in communication is causing confusion and misunderstanding: - Common words are used to describe quite different concepts (Concepts and ideas that over time acquire several words to communicate their meaning)
- Several words with different meanings which collapse over time into one meaning with no distinction made between words i.e. investment and funding
- The same concept might be described using very different words / language.
