A person who misuses knowledge claims to have knowledge without being in a position to know about the subject.
A person who misuses understanding claims to have understanding without imagining the subject.
I see the problem that plagues an age, and I find it suffices to stay away.
Use of "it", "so" as pointers into vagueness.

A section on locutions, illocutions, and perlocutions.
