It's a rip-off!


It's good to see some old-fashioned stubborness, a loan voice in the wilderness immune to both logic and reason.

In my capacity as the owner of Askaboutmoney I am not prepared to put my home on the line and allow people describe named shops as "rip-offs" as I consider it potentially defamatory. I have expanded on this here

This point is fair enough, no doubt there are plenty of kindred spirits from the law library who, also unable to deal with change, would convict as a result of misunderstanding the word's use


Oops, just noticed that I mis-spelled "lone." this must be because I am now reluctant to use dictionaries having learned that they are wont to include the mis-use of words.

C - Has multiple meanings, including an unreasonably high price.


and, imo, includes the likes of british retail stores charging excessive euro prices compared to the sterling equivalent. And I may not have much choice if its a specialist electronics store for example.
 
That's the distinction IMO - used as a noun, it's a subjective expression of poor value but used as a verb, I would consider the complainer to be open to accusations of libel, defamation etc

Who resurrected this thread anyway?

Oh yeah...."C" by the way.
