Do you know the meaning of 'deconfliction'? You should

I spent most of last week grousing here about dumb and meaningless words speechwriters use.

A note from Georgetown University speechwriter Jan Cook convinced me that there's at least one good new term that came into the business:

In working with a White House speechwriter in connection with an event on the Georgetown campus, she says, she learned a new word: deconfliction."

Definition: "when you compare the speeches of several platform speakers to make sure there is no overlap!"

"I love it!" says Cook, who adds that deconfliction "is a very useful step that eliminates redundancy emanating from the platform."

Every day's a school day.
