Vague, ambiguous words like "reasonable" have no place in a formal definition. Also: "its.

So you're saying that the only problem with that requirement is a typo in the word "its" and you would prefer a better word that "reasonable". Got it. At least we agree on that point.

But you told me that those could be spent?

Yep, they can, but if you do spend them (or receive a transaction that spent them) then you should expect a significantly increased chance that the transaction WON'T confirm in the next block. We are talking about my statement that the "properly formed transaction will typically (more often than half the time) confirm in less than 10 minutes and rarely (if ever) take more than 120 minutes", right?

So opt-in RBF is out? Check.

Looks like we agree on that point too.

How would my wife check for that?

If she's sending the transaction, she doesn't need to.

If she's receiving the transaction, then she can either use a wallet or service that tells her, use a service that manages the risk for her, or determine for herself if she has enough of a trust relationship with the payer to accept unconfirmed transactions or needs to wait for a confirmation.

Ditto.

See above.

Tell you what. I googled "properly formed bitcoin transaction," netting me ...About 0 results (0.32 seconds). Safe to say not something in common usage

Bummer. Give it time. Maybe in a few more years.

1. Don't coin techy sounding scientistical jargon like "properly formed bitcoin transaction" without defining it first.

Techy? Maybe Techie.

I apologize for not gaining your approval on my word choices ahead of time. Hope you can get over it. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to seek in advance your approval of all words I choose to use in the future. I'll just continue to use words that I feel get my thoughts across as best I can. Perhaps I'll occasionally fail, but it's gotten me this far in life, and I doubt it will become a problem for me now. You've made your own value judgement about the word choice, others will make their own value judgements. Perhaps some will agree with you, perhaps some won't. I'm not particularly concerned.

It might impress some bimbo at your city college, but shit don't fly here.

Um? Ok.

2. Learn what a definition is.

Nah. Not interested.
