Ambiguity

Last week in my Comm 160 class, we learned about ambiguous pronouns. While although I am not grammar crazy, I do absolutely believe in the importance of definte pronouns. In my opinion, when you say a sentence with an ambiguous pronoun out loud, the ambiguity is less of an issue versus when you spot a flaw immediately in text. A reader loses a lot of contextual hints such as hand gestures and facial gestures.
