Abstract
The need for rigour in mathematical communication may raise nontrivial problems, when the target of this communication includes people with little mathematical background. In what follows we discuss some of these problems, and we argue how it may be possible to keep some kind of mathematical rigour also in an informal way of communicating maths.
