	Misnomer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A misnomer is a misleading name, often idiomatic.
		An older name being retained as the thing named evolved (e.g., pencil lead, tin cans, fixed income markets, mince meat pie).
		The deeper point that disparate fields of mathematics are connected in non-obvious ways remains valid, but designating the "fundamental theorem of algebra" a misnomer is debatable.

		The third species of wolf is the Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis) which lives in Africa and Ethiopia which has previously been classified as a jackal until DNA research proved it to be a true wolf.

		The classical names for the lunar dark areas were all nautical, but all were dreadful misnomers since the Moon has always lacked seas and oceans.

		Also, AAJA members who worked for news organizations outside the United States were eliminated from the list since it was assumed they were not dealing with attitudes in the United States on a daily basis.
		The sex of all ninety-eight respondents was able to be determined by the name or salutation in the AAJA address list (as well as for the two editors of Asian American publications).

		At the close of this article is a list of weapons, if you will, used in what is known now as "the war called peace." They are weapons which derive from a modern-day science called the science of psychopolitics.
		Now, on that list of psychopolitical weapons which I included at the end of this article, you will find that I stated a couple of conclusions at the end of the listing.
		Now, on the psychopolitical weapons list, Item 14 is "Criminality and Legal Entanglement." Since this is a war called peace, there are no tanks that will roll down the street--not now--with swastikas or rising suns or hammers and sickles painted on their sides.

		We only add, by way of a general view, a list of all the ecumenical councils of the Graeco-Roman church, with a brief account of their character and work.
		The condemnation of a departed pope as a heretic by an ecumenical council is so inconsistent with the claims of papal infallibility, that Romish historians have tried their utmost to dispute the fact, or to weaken its force by sophistical pleading.

		The distinction between monkeys and apes is still muddled in the popular mind: Chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans are still frequently called "monkeys," and very good monkeys, such as Barbary "apes" and Celebes fl "apes," continue to carry their misnomers.
		Misnomer is from Medieval French mesnommer, "to misname," from mes-, "wrongly" + nommer, "to name," from Latin nominare, "to name," from nomen, "a name."

		In my judgment, the most useful distinction can be made between literal synonymy, whereby two (or more) words bear the same literal meaning (but may be used with a different reference), and functional synonymy, whereby two (or more) words are used with the same reference (but may not have the same literal meaning).

		One of the biggest misnomers about sexuality in our culture is that vaginal intercourse is "going all the way," and is some sort of final goal to sexuality, which is unfortunate...
		This idea has contributed to a whole lot of confusion and disappointment for many who have first intercourse, and wonder where the fireworks and trumpets were, or why it wasn't all they thought it would be.
		Talk to a friend who has had intercourse who is really honest with you (or an older sibling or family member) about what you expect, and listen to their own experiences.

	LINGUIST List 2.49: Cognitive Linguistics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		This list has seen two recent postings expressing outrage at the name ("Cognitive Linguistics") of a theoretical framework (or set of related frameworks).
		The first time I took to be an idiosyncrasy, but the recurrence alternately bothers and amuses me. I thought this list was a forum for more substantive discussions than grousing about what someone else's name is. The mode of objection is curious.
		Not to mention, by the obsessively picayune sensibilities recently shown, such out-and-out misnomers as "Generative Phonology" (since most practitioners regard phonology as interpretive).

		The Great Misnomers section begins with a narrated overview of how the field of Egyptology has been tainted by the often racist views of many early Egyptologists of the 19th and 20th century who denied evidence of Ancient Egypt's African origin and its major contribution to world civilization.
		The narration is supported by quotes from ancient writers such as Diodorus of Sicily, Herodotus and Isocrates, all of whom traveled to Ancient Egypt and wrote about both the race of the Acient Egyptians and their many great contributions.
		The narration and quotes are followed by a list of 20 Great Misnomers.

	TAC 12: Great Misnomers No. 2: The Arrochar Alps
		We are of course adrift in a sea of misnomers here, for any selfrespecting schoolgirl knows that whilst "Alp" strictly refers to a grassy mountain meadow inhabited by Suchard-producing cows and yodelling, flugelhom-blowing peasants, the word has long come to mean the jaggy snowwhite peaks themselves, domicile of Jean-Claude Killy, Jean-Baptiste Lafonde and David Vine.
		This is, after all, the late twentieth century: a babyboomer has just organised a gig on the White House steps, Last Tango in Paris has been on the TV, and women have even been admitted, however tokenistically, into the Steatopygous Men's Club.
		And finally, while we're on the subject, there is of course the smaller-scale misnomer within the "Alps" themselves: the old chestnut of The Cobbler merely being a nickname for something called "Ben Arthur".

		Though we are all aware of the arbitrary nature of the linguistic sign (Saussure, 1969: 101), we still expect specialised terms to denote specific concepts more rigorously and to be anything but misleading.
		Assuredly the new term refers to the new size that can be hoped to be just right for the firm, but one may wonder if it is felt to be right by those who lose their jobs in the process.
		Let it be noted besides that "an improving deficit" is a misnomer as a deficit can be said to increase or decrease, widen or shrink, but in no way can it "improve" (Lerat, 1995: 145).

		With the recent explosion of popularity of cigars, urban myths and misconceptions were destined to arise.
		Often these errors can be truly frustrating to retailers and manufacturers as they try to inform cigar enthusiasts in their quest for knowledge in their new hobby.
		One manufacturer wrote a story about his cigars saying, "..fleeing the tyranny of Communist oppression, the precious Cuban seeds were housed in silken purses to protect the future of cigars." Although there are a few strains of piloto Dominican tobacco, the vast majority of cigar leaf grown in the world is from Cuban seed!

		And his dispute with de Vaux over the dating of a pot with Herodian script, which de Vaux assigned for sound archaeological reasons to Period Ib and Cross to Period II from paleography (as I recall) is another terrible example of conflict between archaeology and Cross's paleography.
		I am convinced (with Doudna) that the transition from "Hasmonean" to "Herodian" scripts took place much earlier than Cross allows and that these terms are misnomers.
		However, I agree with you that for all the script forms to be representative of a single generation seems unlikely.
