re: #337 elbruce

: a grant or gift of money: as a : a sum of money formerly granted by the British Parliament to the crown and raised by special taxation b : money granted by one state to another c : a grant by a government to a private person or company to assist an enterprise deemed advantageous to the public

Grant =/= cash transfer. As has been exhaustively and repeatedly pointed out, cancelling a portion of a legal debt consitutes a subsidy.

Well - yeah, some here have defined it that way.
Merriam has not.
And I don’t accept Obdi’s definition.
