I think the original context could be correct: if they say they will do something, they do it.

I know I’m being pedantic, but that would be a low ratio.

But I understand the point being made and my pedantry just a peculiarity of English meaning having a strong word order dependence than many other languages.

Just to throw another variable in there, the clause about the ratio is separated from the one about completing things, by the conjunction "but," indicating opposition. So it can be read as something like "I've always prioritized communication" (high say-do ratio, as written) "...BUT, I wanted to" (make a change and) "strategize seeing things through." Probably not what was meant, but plausible and one of the possibilities I considered when I noticed the thing you noticed!

That's actually interesting, because if they'd said low ratio, it would probably have confused people. I think it's math having the strong order dependence; when people say a high a to b ratio, they likely mean a 'good' ratio contextually instead of mathematically high.

Doesn't every language have words for feelings?

I mean, sure there's variations (e.g. not all languages have "saudade" or "schadenfreude") but it seems a pretty basic group of words.

It's "gesagt-getan" in German so it's a combination of two words in the order mentioned in TFA
