Selecting words to express an idea in a positive way conscious that doing so will engender positive consequences.
The chairman of the board asked the speech writer to write the announcement using positive articulation instead of the negative articulation she,—for unexplained reasons—had used. The managers were surprised to see that she worded the announcement as she did, wondered if he was a saboteur, got her fired on-the-spot, and had a different writer write the speech.

Get the Positive Articulationmug. Hiding or depriving individuals or groups of people of facts to keep them ignorant and powerless. Individuals and organizations do that to protect themselves, to monopolize power, or to more easily take advantage of others.
I think it's safe to say that at some point and to varying degrees everybody practices information deprivation against those they interact with in order to trick them.

Examples of things which "tangibleize" an invisible thing—such as a thought—are words, drawings, photographs, images, and sculptures or 3-D models because those things have transformed a thought or feeling into a visible or tangible representation of them.
And though spoken words manifest thoughts, no one can see a spoken word. To make a word visible, it must be written or typed. Then it can be moved around in a text. Though it is not possible to touch or hold written word per se, they can be said to be tangible because when written, they can be sent in a letter or email, or when printed on a paper or in a book, carried.

Get the tangibleizemug. There are many different types of "human interactions".
Exemplary (E-HI); pleasant, positive, or pleasurable (P-HI); productive (PROD-HI), professional (PRO-HI), unprofessional (UNPRO-HI), unproductive (UNPROD-HI), counterproductive (CP-HI), unpleasant (U-HI); painful (PA-HI); regrettable (R-HI), horrendous (H-HI), ugly (UG-HI), nice (N-HI), not nice (NN-HI), laughable (L-HI), funny (F-HI), ridiculous (RI-HI), retarded (RE-HI), sexual (S-HI), asexual (AS-HI), etc. The list is endless, and a website may sprout listing all the different types of human interactions and their acronyms or (as I believe it is best to call them) "acronames".
By looking back and analyzing not only an interaction, but also what "really" happened and how each participant behaved and or reacted to other's behaviors, it is possible to comprehend interactions and behaviors better, learn from them, remember them, and give them a name or label—such as EHI.
Labeling interactions can help reveal similarities and make it easier to categorize and group them to further increase comprehension and knowledge.
