"Words are arbitrary signs, having meaning only to the extent writers and readers share an understanding.... Language in general, and legislation in particular, is a social enterprise to which both speakers and listeners contribute, drawing on background understandings and the structure and circumstances of the utterance." Herrmann v. Cencom Cable Assocs., Inc. , 978 F.2d 978, 982 (CA7 1992).
