Vague Statement

This morning, I went grocery shopping and as I was going down the aisles, I heard over the intercom that someone’s silver car was parked in the loading zone and needed to be moved or else the manager would have to call the towing company to tow the car. The person who made the announcement gave no other detail of the car like the make, model, or even the license plate number. Immediately, I thought could this be my car because I too drive a silver car, however, I know for a fact that I did not park in the loading zone. About five minutes later, they made the announcement again, but they still didn’t mention any other details about the car. This announcement qualifies as a vague sentence because it gave no other information other than the car that needed to be moved was silver. It would have been more helpful and effective if they gave additional information such as the make, model, license plate, or anything else that would help distinguish the car.

Introductory Post

My name is Ramina Yadegar. I am a chemistry major and I'm starting my sophomore year at SJSU. I'm from San Jose and went to Presentation High School. I like horoscopes, shopping, swimming, working out, watching movies, going to the beach, reading, listening to music, and hanging out with my friends. This is the second communication class that I have taken; I took Comm 10 in Fall 2009 and loved it. Other than that I haven't had much experience in communications. I hope to learn a lot from this class!
