ABSTRACT
Imagine arriving in an unfamiliar foreign city and needing to check into your hotel. Deprived of GPS, you ask a local person on the street. Despite your bad pronunciation, this person recognises the name of the hotel and proceeds to inform you of its history, of its terrible cuisine, and tells you not to go there. But still, you plead, ‘How do I find it?’ The local then says to consult a street map, and tells you that his brother runs a course on navigation and direction finding. You tell him that you are not wanting to do any such course, so he asks just what sort of course are you interested in. We have a communication breakdown.
