In an old love duet, a couple comes close to breaking up because of tiny differences in how they communicate: “You say tomato, I say to-mah-to . . .” (Spoiler alert: They vow to stay together.). The lyric humorously illustrates how subtle distinctions in communication can have a potentially big impact.

Or, for a more serious example, Google “Peloton wife.”
