Re : sane, coherent. 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.
