Obama endorsement - "admitted" v "said" v "confirmed"
I'm going for "admitted"; because "confirmed" would refer to something she herself had said earlier (whereas in fact she denied it earlier); and "said" would refer to something new (where there was no history). In this case an allegation was made; she denied it, then admitted it. Springnuts (talk) 23:02, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I disagree. Someone usually ‘admits’ to doing something wrong. In fact, there is an association with admitting a criminal offence. It’s not clear that what she did was wrong. I don’t see that the word ‘said’ refers to something new – it is just the basic word for what is spoken. I am reverting the edit which changed this. Sweet6970 (talk) 09:18, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Isn’t the point that she did admit to doing something wrong - not legally, but factually, by saying something misleading? But I take the point; so how about something around “corrected”? Springnuts (talk) 23:04, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree with your suggestion and your amendment to the article. Thanks. Sweet6970 (talk) 11:31, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
