N1  - Includes bibliographical references (p. 217-218) and index
N2  - Word myths are widely held but inaccurate beliefs about language, such as ideas about “correct” grammar, fixed meanings, or linguistic purity. 
These myths often arise from tradition, education, and social power rather than linguistic evidence. This abstract explores how word myths shape 
attitudes toward language use, influence communication, and reinforce social judgments, while highlighting the importance of linguistic awareness in 
challenging misconceptions and promoting a more inclusive understanding of language
