Not necessarily.  I was able to tell they were coming from the ground based on just reading the post, but on the other hand I can see how someone would get a different mental image from it... still, a slight change in the wording might have helped clarify enough to prevent confusion.

We can't really know, though, since everyone is used to different styles and thus may read the same words and interpret them differently.  This is why I'm recommending more communication, because I really enjoy reading these things and would like to see them go cleanly if possible.
