But let us say that the ranger who painted the
sign meant to say just the opposite.
An ambiguous term is one which has more than a
single meaning and whose context does not clearly
indicate which meaning is intended. For instance, a
sign posted at a fork in a trail which reads “Bear To
The Right” can be understood in two ways. ( ① )
The more probable meaning is that it is instructing
hikers to take the right trail, not the left. ( ② ) He
was trying to warn hikers against taking the right
trail because there is a bear in the area through which
it passes. ( ③ ) The ranger’s language was therefore
careless, and open to misinterpretation which could
have serious consequences. ( ④ ) The only way to
avoid ambiguity is to spell things out as explicitly as
possible: “Keep left. Do not use trail to the right.
Bears in the area.”
