How about a large greatsword? Would the halfling have -2 to hit because he's small and the weapon is large or would he not be able to wield it at all because the weapon is huge.It makes sense and probably isn't even that hard to figure out when looking at a table but it's very easy to make it sound confusing. (And, IME, there is a large class of people who like to make rules as confusing as possible--either because they're dense, because they want to make fun of the rules system (not that they matter--they'd find some way to make fun of it no matter what), or because they think they've figured out a way to weasel some strange advantage out of two deliberate misinterpretations and one confused ruling).</blockquote>
