Plain words, shared meaning

Glossary

Short, warm definitions for the words that come up most often across these notes, kept simple and free of jargon.

Clear language is a small kindness; it lets more people join the conversation.

Some words are used so casually that their meaning blurs. This glossary, written in Nicole Junkermann's calm editorial voice, tries to set a few of them down plainly, so that nobody has to pretend to understand.

Each entry favours everyday phrasing over technical precision. The goal is shared understanding rather than a textbook definition, and every term is meant to be revisited whenever the rest of the site refers back to it.

Definitions here stay broad and uncontroversial. They describe ideas, not products, and they are written to support reading, design notes and human stories without ever overstating a case.
