Trying to Be Clear; Failing Miserably

Today
Me:
"Some contests end up with everything submitted belonging to the company sponsor. What happens to the video submissions for this contest?"
Them:
"We have no prob with this.....
you are free to upload videos related to sponsor or not....."
Me:
"You misunderstood. My question is whether your company will claim ownership of submitted works."

Wednesday: "sorry for misunderstanding....
we are not owner and we will not be owner of the videos
we don't use them for commercial uses........
you are free to submit them also to other websites.......
we only ask that videos submitted for the contest have to stay on the website after the end of the contest
hope this clear your doubt"

Take this bottle; it's for Mel to hide.
Yesterday:
Someone at Motorability needed a vendor set up. I asked what he had to put in it and he said nothing. Repeatedly I asked him, in different ways, what he had to put in the vendor he said he needed. REPEATEDLY. He kept saying he had nothing, which didn't compute.
Finally he IMed me later in the day:

person X: I was thinkin about getting the vendor stuff outta the way
Osprey Therian: What do you have?
person X: what are you McGuyver
person X: okay
person X: I have a fork
person X: a Simpsons DVD
person X: and a beer
person X: GO
person X: lol
Osprey Therian: Well, what do you have in mind?
person X: justa vendor is all
person X: I hav a few of em
Osprey Therian: Well, I thought you wanted a vendor set up, but you don't sound like you have things to put in it.
person X: oh lol
person X: of course
Osprey Therian: Well I've been asking you! <--over, and over, and over...
person X: I have things to put in it
person X: WELL I'VE BEEN TELLING YOU bsolutely nothing -- what does this mean?
person X: lol person X: absolutely even
Osprey Therian: OK so if we are talking about me making a vendor texture and setting it up with your items in it, can you send me the items so I can photog them for the vendor textures? -- That was purely me trying to rephrase and jiggle some information free.
person X: I have shirts a hat a flag a sign the driver cards -- ZOMG Finally.
person X: ok 1 sec
Osprey Therian: Can you send me 1 of each?
person X: I'll send you what I got so far

your communications seemed perfectly clear to me; the other ppl sound ... oh I don't want to be unkind ...
 
I never understand half of what you say, but that's because my brain is full of mad cow holes from cheap beef I ate as a student in the 90s.

I want to ask for thoughts about improving the world -- what do people need? How can things be organised?
