I often wonder if part of America's productivity can be attributed to the shortness of this list.

It's just a handful of expressions that are mildly misleading.

In other cultures, you have to get together with friends over dinner to discuss the hidden meaning of a single suspect word your boss had used that day.

High context cultures take a lot of mental effort.
