[Air-L] Urban Word of the Day: collateral misinformation

[Lindy McKeown]

What a great term...I think it applies to both the media and academic
presentations as well as Wikipedia...like when some ill informed journalist
talks about things like SL with all the inaccuracies and rumour or when
someone who has never used SL for anything more than to replicate a boring
,non-participatory lecture in a replica of their RL lecture hall and comments
in a presentation or paper on SL being a waste of time instead of their
pedagogy being he item in question...perfect examples of collateeral
misinformation to me.

 When someone alters a [Wikipedia] article to win a specific argument, anyone
 who reads the false article before the "error" is corrected suffers from
 collateral misinformation.
