Okay, I need some clarity here. On one forum, more than one person has a different understanding of the word "lie" from mine. I've always thought that a lie was a deliberate untruth. They think it's any untruth. My dictionaries back me up, but if enough people come to think differently, later editions will change the definition.

What do you think? I'd much prefer to keep the more specific meaning as possible, lest an accusation of "lies" be taken the wrong way.

My family usually eats out together on Friday, but there was a schedule conflict yesterday. The other day, my dad made reservations for tonight... at a seafood restaurant.

I don't think he even remembered that it would be TLAPD.
