Hi.
I looked up bad faith in both wikipedia and wisegeek however I felt that they dwelt too much on the philosophical side of things. I just want to know how to use this term in everyday English.
Can I take it to mean that it simply means someone is intending to deceive? As in, let's say there are two people. Person A says to B, if you can do xyz for me, I give you 5 bucks. Person B goes and does it, then returns for the reward. Person A then says, "you realize I didn't specify WHEN I will give you the 5 dollars, right"? Would A be engaged in an act of bad faith?
Can you think of more examples of bad faith? Is it tantamount to being deceptive, or is there a slight difference/s?
thanks.
