There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |
Fighting pseudoscience isn't free. We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with ![]() ![]() |
Talk:Fallacy of accent
Isaac Asimov[edit]
Came up with the 'unionised' example - un-ionised or union-ised.
There is also 'British understatement' and similar (where the meaning is the exact opposite of, or different to what is said), and a certain number of court cases revolve around 'words said' and 'words written' having different meanings. Do these fall within this fallacy? 86.134.53.74 (talk) 12:13, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
