In Which I Define

TACT (noun) [takt]: 1. a sense of what to say or do to avoid giving offense; skill in dealing with difficult or delicate situations. 2. knowing what is appropriate or tasteful.

Basically, not this:

I found this sitting on a shelf in the book section of a local discount store yesterday, and found it too awfully perfect. But more awful. I mean, they could at least help out and try to talk an otherwise depressed individual out of said hanging by offering up some positive thinking.

And that, my friends, is how we turn tactless into tactful.
