Talk:Word of mouth

Self-contradiction

"Word of mouth is the passing of information by verbal means" ...and few lines below... "Word of mouth is typically considered a spoken communication, although web dialogue, such as blogs, message boards and emails are often now included in the definition." It contradicts itself, so I hope someone can put a better version. I would if my English was a bit better. --logixoul 09:12, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Verbal can refer to any communication using words, although it is sometimes used to mean only spoken (oral) communication. I don't think there is a contradiction, since the meaning should be clear from the context. Wmahan . 17:26, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
