As a creator of any kind of content, you have **no** control over the interpreted context that your audience brings. This is to be celebrated because it makes you and each person from your audience the co-creators of a unique bridge of human experiences and understanding. Revel in the joy of creating something uniquely yours-and-theirs, or as written from your perspective, *“uniquely ours and ours alone.”* ## As a compound noun "Context Matters" ## As a collection "Context Matters" is a list describing which *particularly* important matters of context are helpful for you to understand the point of view that the author(s) created their creation from, and/or to understand what the intended point is that the author(s) aimed to get across to you. %% EnDpOinT: `ANY` %% [[•]]
