 Not quite the stupid expression the [[mediocre lawyer|finical draftsperson]] believes it to be, “[[verbal]]” means “in ''any'' words”, not just in ''spoken'' ones. (The word for that enunciated subset of all possible words, {{sex|he}} will superciliously continue, is “''[[oral]]''”.)
-“A [[verbal agreement]]”, that [[Mediocre lawyer|odious fellow]] will continue, “is therefore ''any'' kind of agreement, not just one arrived at through the exclusive media of ears, lips and tongues. An “''[[Oral agreement|oral]]'' agreement” is the expression for which you are asking, kind sir.”
+“A [[verbal agreement]]”, that [[Mediocre lawyer|odious fellow]] will continue, “is therefore ''any'' kind of agreement, not just one arrived at through the exclusive media of ears, lips and tongues. If you have in mind solely what is spoken, an “''[[Oral agreement|oral]]'' agreement” is the expression for which you are asking, kind sir.”
-“To have your bleeding lights punched out is the experience for which ''you'' are asking,” kind sir might be tempted to reply, but — for [[Amwell J|we]] cannot condone violence in these pages, however heartily asked-for — perhaps a fellow unlearned in the ways of the law will find solace in the fact that “[[verbally]]” means the same as “[[orally or in writing]]”, and, being rendered without {{tag|flannel}}, is more picturesquely put.

 As to whether one might have a [[non-verbal agreement]], well, those learned in the craft of semaphore, naval flags or bodily gesticulation would tell you that you may.
