An exaggeration is based on truth, lying isn't.

Exaggerating is MIXING the TRUTH with a LIE. Exaggerating has a percentage of lying. The trick is to see which percentage that is

People exaggerate the truth, a lie is based on something that isn't true at all

Exaggeration is making a true event into a bigger event than it really was. Example: "I have answered 1000 questions today on Yahoo." Lying is making up everything from scratch. Example: "I started the wed site, Yahoo!" But they are both non-truths.

They are basically the same thing aren't they? One would like to say that "Oh I was only exaggerating" but in fact whenever you embellish, you are adding an untruth to your story.

An exaggeration is stretching the truth, but there is some truth in it, a lie is just a falsehood, no truth at all.

Exaggeration is normally harmless, lying never is.
