Perception is everything in communication. But of course you can further communicate your intention (via their perception) if you missed the mark.
Sometimes you can. There have been numerous times when someone misunderstood something I had said, became offended, and then refused to even consider the possibility that I didn't mean what they thought I said. I've even had people accuse me of doubling down on what they thought I meant when I tried to explain what I actually meant.
