    The common meaning of the term [lie] is

    noun
    (1) a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive;
    an intentional untruth.

    verb (used without object)
    (1) to speak falsely or utter untruth knowingly, as with
    intent to deceive. Synonyms: fib, prevaricate

    When Richard calls people liars and does not mean they have any
    intent to deceive this makes Richard a liar because Richard knows
    that people will be lead to believe that he is using the common
    definition that requires an intent to deceive.

    Except that isn't the only definition, so you are JUST LYING Again.

    I am using:

    lie noun(2)
    1 b: an untrue or inaccurate statement that may or may not be believed
    true by the speaker or writer

    From https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lie#dictionary-entry-3


    Remember in general English, the speaker gets to use the words in the
    way they want to.

    This has been explained to you, so your calling be a liar for calling
    you a liar is a lie by even YOUR definition, since you have known that
    your definition isn't the one I am using.

    Note, even legally, your definition doesn't hold, as a statement done
    with reckless disreguard for the truth, so even if they don't "beleive"
    they are wrong, but a normal competent person would see the error, makes
    it legally a lie


    Note also, even your own source defends me, as it says:

    3: an inaccurate or untrue statement; falsehood:

    And that describes your statements, your ignorant denial of the truth
    doesn't sheild your statements from being lies.

    So, you are AGAIN just proven to be a liar that is trying to deceive
    people with slanted definitions.
