I ran across a post where someone was explaining what I meant in one of my posts. They couldn’t have been more off base. No one speaks for me. If you have a question about something I said, feel free to message me or leave a comment and ask me. Please done speak for me. You may not know my intention, why or what is going on.
I believe this is a common courtesy that should be something that everyone extends. We don’t interpret the meaning of others. If we have questions we allow them to answer the question.
Why am I particular about this? Probably because when teaching children you often have to remind them that they don’t speak for others. It something that runs rampant unless it is pointed out and changed.
(I am not talking about translating.)

Many speak before they think unfortunately.
Best to be thought of as stupid, than to open your mouth and prove it!
I know, there is one person on this planet (my wife) that speaks for me on occasion. But I do agree with you, no one else ever should!
Now, regarding that picture do you have it in red foram? I love a good big number 1 finger!!!!!
It can be disastrous … because well, words can be easily misunderstood…
and some times a slight tone difference changed the whole meaning!!
It is never wise to speak for another.
No I avoid to speak for some one or speak on behalf of some one since different mind understand differently .
