I'm proposing to Darwin Central that we now employ the verb 'to misspeak' instead of 'to lie' in all conversations relating to the Dark Side of the force.

The Grand Master prizes truth above all else, but the use of the term "liar" has been troublesome. Although often accurate, it upsets the mods. Therefore, the Grand Master prefers euphemisms. "Misspeak" is fine. "Repetitive misstatement" is good too.

On behalf of the Grand Master, I am
etc. etc.
