Being a vague means that the person is not being specific enough to understand what they are talking about. A vague sentence refers to that idea of a sentence being open for interpretation. A vague sentence can be read and mean many things. An ambiguous sentence is vague but is limited in interpretation to just a few options. An ambiguous sentence mostly inner changes the meaning such this Wednesday when I was fixing my room and I asked my friend for a hand and she said “sure but I am not sure how my hand is going to help.” She knew what I was talking about but she pointed out how ambiguous my sentence was. Most of the time people are ambiguous because the meaning of words can be interchange. I personally think that most commercials are ambiguous such Trojan condom commercial when they say “you just can’t wait to get it on” because they can be referring to using the condom itself or actual the fact that the people want to have sex.
