You spoke clearly. The confusion is happening entirely on their end.

You gave the instructions once, in order, using small words on purpose just to be safe. It still didn't land. At some point you have to accept that the breakdown isn't happening on your end of the conversation.

People keep suggesting you try a different tone, a softer approach, maybe write it down instead. You've tried all three already. Some messages just don't survive the trip no matter how they're packaged.

Rebel Ink isn't fluent in dumbass either.
