BobHaleAccurate language can mislead too.
The British Government says that insufficient winter fuel supplies is "not a cause for immediate concern."
That's probably true but it's also a good example of answering the wrong question. "Is this a cause for concern?" is a very different question to "Is this a cause for immediate concern?" If the answer to the first is "yes" it would be better to deal with it before the answer to the second is also "yes"!

KallehAbsolutely. It reminds me of using multiple negatives in a sentence so that you never really quite know what they are saying. I just don't get it.
