To refudiate or not to refudiate?
"Sarah Palin raised linguists` eyebrows this weekend when she urged Muslims to "refudiate" a controversial mosque -- then defended her garbled English as Shakespearean.
The darling of the Republican right coined the word Sunday in a Tweet criticizing plans for a mosque at Ground Zero in New York.
At first Palin appeared embarrassed, deleting the message on her Twitter page and replacing it with a call for Muslims to `refute` the plan, this time using a real word.
