I didn't use the word "stagnation," and "recession" has a core definition that is pretty broadly accepted[1]. I have no opinion on whether or not the recent dip merits a recession, but it is not enough to define one on its own.

The other word used was "crisis," and my criticism is that the word is broad and never defined.

My usage of the word "sell" is more similar to "persuade" and is a valid definition[2].
