I've been wondering for a while why society only has one word for all the different forms of lying. Lying by omission, lying intentionally, lying because you dont know, lying to save yourself, lying without thinking, lying for self benefit there are more... These should all get their own words so that we can always pinpoint exactly which version we think the other person did instead of having to shout "you lied!!111" and then nobody knows what on earth you are talking about.

I completely agree! Perhaps in lieu of words for these related but different concepts, we could use these full descriptions, as you wrote.
