The Next Edge makes volunteer efforts to be understandable. It is our failure if we are not understood, but sorry, on pages like this we cannot read faces or minds as we can in a conversation and help out with extra explanation. So it is up to you, the reader, to get through to understanding or make up your mind what to do next. If anything on this site gets you confused, locate the word(s) you are not sure the definition of and look up the meaning(s), for example, google for definition.
Got a word or quick definition to add? Please put it in a comment, if possible with source link and defined quickly. The Next Edge editors may get to it. For swift action, edits on this page skip the peer review given in Principles for this Next Edge.
