Welcome to English as a Second Language Podcast number 1,298 – Claiming Credit for an Invention.
This is English as a Second Language Podcast episode 1,298. I’m your host, Dr. Jeff McQuillan, coming to you from the Center for Educational Development in beautiful Los Angeles, California.
This episode is a dialogue between Kitty and Alberto about saying that you came up with, or created, a new idea or a new thing when you didn’t. Let’s get started.
Kitty: Wait a second. We invented the Macanator. It was one of the most important technical achievements of our country.
Alberto: What? You can’t claim credit for the Macanator. We beat you to it.
Kitty: You may have invented the precursor to the modern-day Macanator, but we’re the ones who are the recognized inventors.
Alberto: That’s disputed. Just because we didn’t document the achievement, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
