Words Overheard Today

Today during staff meeting, a new co-worker used three words not normally heard in everyday conversation.

iterative: relating to or involving iteration: the repetition of a process or utterance. • repetition of a mathematical or computational procedure applied to the result of a previous application, typically as a means of obtaining successively closer approximations to the solution of a problem

cogent: (of an argument or case) clear, logical, and convincing

salient: most noticeable or important; prominent; conspicuous

It was refreshing.
