Abstract
The prime ingredients of the operations of the human cognitive mind are descriptions. Descriptions may be approximate in the sense that imprecision may not allow the construction of a set from a word description. In a previous paper this type of imprecision was introduced with the name of approximate sets. The operations on approximate sets defined there were as precise as possible, but they had some difficulties, one of them being that the union operation defined was not associative. It was foreseen that precision in the operations might be traded for operational convenience. In this paper such a possibility is investigated, less precise operations are offered, and their convenience is studied.
