I'm so right

A few weeks ago i wrote a post that said mindframe should be a word. I have proof now that its a actual word. This comes from The Washington Post in a story about one of the best pitchers in MLB and he plays for the Nats.
"This year, it's just not that way. It wasn't that way too much last year, and I think it's going to improve this year. I think I've finally proven to myself the mind-frame that I should be in."
Now if The Washington Post, the greatest newspaper in the world, used mind-frame as a quote and expected people to understand what Patterson meant. So this gives it legitimacy. I can now use it and if some mindless un-cultured poopeyhead questions me, i can say that the Post used it. I'm ahead of my times really. I wonder what's the next word I'm going to make up that's start being used in the media and by some of the greatest sports people ever. Possibly unreckoned(un-reckoned)?

Update: I was so happy that i was prove right that i just posted right away without finish reading the article. But in the next paragraph, Barry Svrluga, the reporter who wrote the story and in my opinion one of the better sports writer the post has, wrote it directly. So this gives it far more legitimacy then the previous paragraph where it was a direct quote.
Last night, he completed his work for the spring, and will take that mind-frame into the season. His first start comes Wednesday against the Mets, the Nationals' second game of the year. But for one night before all that, he was back home.
