I would add "consistent" too. In spoken communications: Sane : Only you, I and the bedpost know what that means. Coherent : People understand what you say, although this need not be sane or consistent. Consistent: What you say is not self-contradictory, although this need not be sane or coherent. If it's not coherent, it's always consistent, since its consistency is not provable. -- ...........................................................................
