one of my biggest annoyances in the job is guessing what someone means when they could simply say it using words that are actually meaningful and relevant. yes it's part of the job, and we all have to get as good at is as possible, but come on... what does that mean? it's not anything really right? if people want help they need to express it in many ways.
for me if someone says something like "I need that to be more orange" I can get the gist of it, a little warmer with a tinge of presence maybe, but that's obviously just a guess (happens to be right sometimes though LoL).
so I always try to encourage them to come up with more similes of what they are feeling about it, if they come up with "grassy plains at sunrise" then I get a different idea of orange than if they say "lava flowing over scurrying animals".
the latter, fortunately, is a rare example.
