Explain the word decoding in a communication process.

From a communications point of view, "decoding" involves
being able to ensure that the message, recipient, and messenger are aligned in ensuring
maximum comprehension.  In all communication processes, there is a natural belief or
fear that the full magnitude of the message will not be received.  This is where
decoding enters into the equation.  Using the idea that decoding involves the receiving
and interpreting of a particular message, it become essential to ensure that the
decoding of a message recovers the entirety or as much as possible of its intent.  It is
here where the largest challenge is experienced in the communication process.  The
speaker has to make sure that the message they intend to transmit across is decoded in a
manner that reveals its full content.  In order for this to happen, the messenger must
place themselves into the paradigm of decoding and examine to see where detraction could
occur and remedy those.  Public speaking or any type of communication relies on this
aspect of decoding.  In the writing process, this is where "editing" enters and,
similarly, in the communication process, there is a type of editing whereby the speaker
ensures that the message being transmitted is decoded properly, or in a manner that
allows the full intent of the message to be received.
