agree that we all know the difference between bargaining & bartering & many of us like to see the English language used in the way it is supposed to be BUT being the realists that we are & living in 2009 we know we don't live in a dream world.
We do not live anymore in the 1950's,1960's or 1970's that many of us went to school in,we either accept the way the world is changing (as much as we may dislike it) or not.Teachers,parents & the education system are fighting a losing battle in my opinion.The fact that so many of us are not happy about it really does not seem to matter.
After all each of us can only change our own little corner of the world,bit by bit,but if we all do that it can make a difference.
