How does a communication work? Sender sends a message to a receiver via medium and the receiver has to decode the encoded message and perceive the same.
So the components involved in communication are,
1. Sender
2. Receiver
3. Medium/Channel
4. Message
Sender encodes - Receiver Decodes - Clear intent
Now, in real life what happens when this communication is a real deal breaker. They are few of us blessed with good communication techniques and know what to talk very clearly. But a few not so blessed ones have the biggest problem is try to convey across the message. The intent is never clear the receiver never perceives the message clearly. If the message isn't getting through well, there is a clear cut problem of distorted communication.
Next time one decides to communicate, please ensure it is 3C's - Crisp, Clear and Concise!
