Positive Articulation

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.

Covert Intent Word

One or more words which state something other than—or the opposite of—what the words which have no covert ulterior motive express in a message.
One example of a Covert Intent Word is, “The Test Administrators will do their best to make your testing experience as smooth and stress free as possible.” The word “stress” reminds the test takers that there is such a thing as "stress." And makes anyone who is exposed to that word feel some level of stress—if only by remembering what stress is to grasp what the writer is saying.
