If something makes no sense to you at all do you speak up and say so or remain silent because you don't want people to think you don't "get it"....especially if whatever it is seems to make a whole lotta sense to them?

I think it depends on both how important it is that I get it right there and then, and whether I even care. Sometimes I speak up, sometimes I don't. I didn't always speak up in class at university if I didn't get something, for example. I didn't want to look like the idiot. I just looked into it a little more in my own time, and worked it out for myself.

If it appears to make sense to everyone except you, it might be a case of "the emperor's new clothes". Test them out. Talk gibberish for a day and either (a) you will have great fun watching people trying to wriggle out of their embarassment or (b) you will spend the rest of your days in a canvas coat with no sleeves.

I always ask people to explain them selves if I don't get it.

It depends on the situation for me. I speak up if I actually care what it is that they're talking about or if it's something important that I actually need to know. Otherwise I just keep my mouth shut and pretty much ignore the conversation.

I usually ask questions. Unfortunately in some work situations I do not ask; because some bosses seem unable to explain anything. LOL they seem to expect us to learn to read their mines.
