Irrtümer der Geschichte

(E?)(L?) http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/
Hier sind die Irrtümer der Geschichte versammelt.

Sicherlich geht es hier nicht um Wortgeschichten sondern um die falschen Geschichten der Geschichte. Aber viele Geschichten bieten auch interessante Hinweise zu damit zusammenhängenden Bezeichnungen.

Um mit dem Begriff "Hoax" zu beginnen: dieser soll eine Zusammenziehung von "hocus pocus" sein.

(E?)(L?) http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/bio.html
Oder der "hoaxpert", eine Zusammenziehung von "hoax expert".

A hoax is a deceptive act or scheme that plays upon the credulity of others. Great hoaxes, like the moon hoax of 1835 and the Cardiff Giant, manage to create a sense of mystery and astonishment. They force people to question their assumptions, to wonder what is real and what is not. Not so great hoaxes usually manage to be, at the very least, amusing. The worst kind of hoaxes can actually cause serious damage to people's lives and finances.

In terms of deciding what to include in this site, I have relied upon a narrower, 1808 definition, taken from the Oxford English Dictionary, that describes hoaxing as "Contriving wonderful stories for the publick." The phrase 'for the publick' is the key part of this definition. Hoaxes, unlike mere practical jokes, are deceptive acts that are played out before a public audience. The larger the audience, the better.

What is an error in English?
The concept of language errors is a fuzzy one. I’ll leave to linguists the technical definitions. Here we’re concerned only with deviations from the standard use of English as judged by sophisticated users such as professional writers, editors, teachers, and literate executives and personnel officers. The aim of this site is to help you avoid low grades, lost employment opportunities, lost business, and titters of amusement at the way you write or speak.
