  Rant: When someone describes something, and you don't understand, so they proceed to describe the same thing, the same way they just described it, thinking repetition will help the situation. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- It DOESN'T help. When someone doesn't understand something, it usually helps to try and describe whatever it is you are talking about in a different way.
Many times, at work, I hear representatives speaking to a customer, repeat EXACTLY what they just told a customer two or more times, not because the customer didn't hear them but because the customer DIDN'T UNDERSAND. Not Hearing vs. Not Understanding require two different remedies. OYE VEY! !
