How to use "Misquote" in context?
When a speaker quotes someone out of context, they are quoting inaccurately. This can often result in a misquote. Here are seven common types of misquotes:
1. False Attribution - When a speaker falsely attributes a quote to another person, the audience may not be able to tell that the quote was incorrectly attributed.
2. False Pleading - When a speaker quotes someone in order to make their argument stronger, but fails to mention that the quote was taken out of context, the speaker may be falsely posing as the original speaker.
