to word something in a way to mislead.

I sure it is something like 'provicated', any ideas?

http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/mislead

as in "agent provacateur"?

Hi oli, not that its a word that means I am misleading people with the words I use.

You probably mean prevaricate - which means to lie.

Of course, "deceptive" is just as good.

Spot on cheers
