Vague words

last updated: 29th July 2011

For example, what does the word 'clean' mean in respect of, say, a vehicle' Does it mean -

  • just washed and polished? or
  • there's no rust on it? or
  • there’s a full service history available, or 
  • it hasn't been in any accidents, had panels replaced etc
     

Other words/phrases to avoid are

'reliable' - by whose standards? - you may want equipment that can work flat out 24-7 whereas someone else may consider 10% down time acceptable

'as soon as possible' - in respect of delivery - do you mean you want it very quickly or as soon as the supplier can deliver?
