what is the exact meaning of quibble?

Limbo

[Torsten]

A quibble is the act of evading an argument or discussion. For example, if a company doesn't want to offer their customers the service they are entitled to they start quibbling. That means they are looking for petty ways to escape liability.

Dear Sir,
I look up dictionary and find out all 4 of them have the same meaning: squabble, quibble, quarrel, argument. Could you please explain more?
Thank you very much and Best regards

In the context, argument fits just as well. As a matter of fact the company might say in their guarantee that they reserve the right to argue claims, but they would state that they have the right to quibble.

[macoulin]

ooops...they wouldn't state they have the right to quibble.

[Torsten]

In the given sentence there is only one correct option that is quibble. We are not talking about the text of the warranty here. Of course you can say that the company argues a claim. However, you can not replace quibble with argument in the phrase there is no quibble because quibble describes the act of evading an argument whereas an argument is simply a dispute over an issue.

What is difference between argument and row?

row (n)
1. a noisy quarrel or dispute
2. a noisy , serious disagreement; commotion we couldn't hear the music for the row next door
3. a reprimand
give (someone) a row (Informal) = to scold (someone); tell off sb.

argument (n)
a. A discussion in which disagreement is expressed; a debate.
b. A quarrel; a dispute.

I think that both is a disagreement but a row happens noisily and more loudly.
