520 ## - ABSTRACT
Summary, etc. Word myths are widely held but inaccurate beliefs about language, such as ideas about “correct” grammar, fixed meanings, or linguistic purity. <br/>These myths often arise from tradition, education, and social power rather than linguistic evidence. This abstract explores how word myths shape <br/>attitudes toward language use, influence communication, and reinforce social judgments, while highlighting the importance of linguistic awareness in <br/>challenging misconceptions and promoting a more inclusive understanding of language.
