Did you seriously write this?

  This doesn't contribute to conversation at all and seems to be implying something that's incorrect. Verbal agreement (e.g. even telling someone out loud "I agree to do this for you for $10") is a form of legal contract. Enforceability/provability is a different story but legally that's a contract.

    > seems to be implying something that's incorrect I think they were referring to the contradiction of "verbal agreement... especially if it's in writing." But yeah, the snarky comment does not help anybody with anything.

      An agreement in writing is usually a verbal agreement, so it's not even wrong. Perhaps someone meant to contrast an oral agreement with a written one.

        > An agreement in writing is usually a verbal agreement A verbal agreement inherently means there's no written agreement. Also, oral = verbal.

          That's incorrect. Legally, verbal primarily means using words. The technical difference is whether an agreement is written or spoken/oral.
