Well, I'd change "fault" to onus. Sometimes the listener isn't paying attention, doesn't speak your language as her first language, doesn't use the same idioms you do, or might not understand the topic as well as you do. It's not the speaker's fault if, for example, a student hasn't properly prepared for a class and is therefore lost during the lecture. However it is their burden to do their best to ensure everyone understands. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
