Thanks Derek, your right, I haven't been putting in enough effort on 
this, sorry for slacking off.  If you peruse my questions to the list, 
you will notice that I actually put quite a bit of research into them.

I won't even respond to this, for the sake of list harmony.

Great, thanks for the dictionary responses.  Now, how about looking at 
the *real reason* I asked the question.  And I quote from my original email:

"Besides a definition, are there reasons you would choose one over the 
other?  Does GnuCash calculate anything differently based on this 
option, or is it just informational for the user to know how the price 
was derived?"

Surprisingly, cnnfn, google and even quotes.yahoo.com were stumped on 
these questions.
