“that fact that they are lying, and dont know it, well, that is the problem isnt it?”

That is a BIG problem, since one is not lying if one does not intend to deceive. From Merriam-Webster:

1 : to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive

Statements made by the merely ignorant aren’t “lies”.

It’s difficult to hold a conversation when basic terms are open to interpretation.

I’m done with this thread, enjoy your weekend.

yes, it is difficult, but i tried my best, i dont usually speak in dictionary terms, one usually can convey the meaning without having to resort to looking up a word in the dictionary, to get a point across.
