Let me be more precise. If I promise you 6 and pay you 5.5 but owe you only 5 have I wronged you?

.. or have I only made wrong my word :(

    No one is wronged unless they are not paid what they are owed.  By not keeping a promise you appear to be less than trustworthy but you have not cheated anyone.

    I would be at least guilty of making promises I cannot keep. So we have Obama :(

    I'd say if you only owe 5, perhaps they owe you some, or perhaps you have already overpaid on something else... then you haven't broken your word, providing you give a clear and understandable explanation of why you only paid 5.5
