Do you understand what I mean

A world-wide survey was conducted by an international organization. The only question asked was:

‘Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?’

The survey was a huge failure because :

In Africa they didn’t know what ‘food’ means !

In Eastern Europe they didn’t know what ‘honest’ means !

In Western Europe they didn’t know what ’shortage’ means !

In China they didn’t know What ‘opinion’ means !

In the Middle East they didn’t know what ’solution’ means !

In South America they didn’t know what ‘please’ means !

In the USA they didn’t know what ‘the rest of the world’ means !!

So, do you understand “what I mean?”.
