I don't think so, I just like to mean what I say, say what I mean.

Talking requires a single understanding and definition. Communicating requires two understandings, and a shared definition :)

off topic brain prattle follows...
It is of course completely possible to successfully talk and fail to communicate, simply because the definition is not shared. You could say that there was an expectations of communication based on the use of a common word definition, but it is difficult to say the fault lies with the person that was never taught your definition. The internet is really good about getting people to bump into these things.
