You just shouted at and name called a complete stranger simply because you disagree with what they wrote. What the?

So what was the actual lie? The fact that I referred to the Websters dictionary? Or that I quoted it word for word?

"bargain, v.t. to trade; to barter."
"bargain, v.i. to make a contract or conclusive agreement for the transfer of property"
Page 150

"barter, v.i. to trade by exchanging one commodity for another, in distinction from a sale"
page2

"haggle, v.i. to be difficult in bargaining"
page 816

Webster's New Twentieth Century Dictionary Unabridged Second Edition

So bargaining encompasses bartering, but bartering is not necessarily bargaining and bargaining is not necessarily haggling.
