Ask HN: Ways to Learn Business Communication

When out in the world, I can pretty easily understand an be understood by others, but in the office it seems every word means something entirely different within the office walls than without. Case in point, I put in my notes to my manager "Implemented Contacts screen for CRM", thinking "implemented" meant "wrote the code for", when in fact it meant "pushed tested and completed product to Production".

There's been a bunch of other times where I've said the wrong thing, usually angering my manager which (I think) has locked me out of getting hired full time instead of being a contractor.

Is there a way to train the way office workers speak, or is that a cultural thing that you either have or don't? I come from a blue collar rural white area with a high school mainly focused on farming, so I didn't get exposure to this mode of communication before starting work here.
