> that can change the meaning you actually intended

Laws aren't made by one person. When everyone votes on them, they agree on the language because of how they interpret the words on the paper. The meaning is what the words on the paper say, which is interpreted by different people to mean different things before they even become law.

May be start attaching dictionary too as an appendix to law so that words are not interpreted the wrong way. Not having to explain meaning used to be common sense before double speak. But I guess now we need to idiot proof laws.
