Wordsmithising

So someone sent me an email following Sunday's sermon. It was a gentle correction on something I had said:

"First, i wasn't going to say anything until i double checked, but i was pretty sure you were claiming to make up a word that i had heard...awhile back..."

Whoops! Busted!

But the truth of it was: I really had no idea the word existed...so my conclusion was:

"Wow! That’s so cool. Yes I did claim to make it up – actually I DID make it up – its just someone else made it up first – which makes me even cooler: I made up A REAL WORD! That makes me awesome, just a little late."

You can spin anything I guess :)
