Adebayor's started so well for Man City
Have you ever "misspoken?"
Hilary Clinton has. She said she "misspoke" when she claimed she'd landed in Kosovo under sniper fire.
In fact she hadn't: it was a very calm and rather jovial landing back in 1996 in Tuzla. But she hadn't exaggerated, she hadn't lied, she'd simply "misspoken".
On the programme this morning, 'misspeaking' was described as lying. Anyone remember C J Cregg misspeaking in the press room in an episode of The West Wing? That was the first time I heard the phrase.
I thought it meant a bad choice of words at the time, perhaps an off-the-cuff comment maybe giving the wrong impression, but not necessarily intended to deceive.
