December A photographic artist was published in the monthly supplement 2021 Juha-Pekka Inkisen pictures of bus stops. Inkinen has been photographing them since 1986, and last year he published a book on the subject called Stop logs. According to Inkinen, the change in time can be clearly seen in the way bus stops change.
In the story of the monthly supplement, the insightful captions prepared by Inkinen were also published in connection with the images. One of them said: The Särkänniemi dolphinarium will be closed after 17 years and the dolphins will be flown to Greece. “How long is eternity,” Liisa asks. “Sometimes just one second,” replies the White Rabbit. (Lewis Carroll).
The idea is fascinating, but it is not the idea of author Lewis Carroll, although it is claimed in so many sources. The quote is Tim Burtonin from the movie Alice in Wonderland (2010), loosely based on Carroll’s famous book of the same name. The translator pointed out this error for the delivery of the monthly supplement Markus Lång.
The error is common, and there are no matter how many. We quote phrases that no one has ever said. Or we modify those sentences to better suit our intentions or understanding.
Skier Marjo Matikainen The “conifers, devil” cry still symbolizes Finnish tenacity, even though he never said so. In 1987, at five kilometers in Oberstdorf, Matikainen asked for conifers on a couple of occasions, but did not swear until the spruce branches on the tracks took the creams off.
In 2012, a Finnish driver in the F1 race in Abu Dhabi Kimi Raikkonen put on the Lotus team team radio a sentence that became famous. The perception of many is that Räikkönen said “just leave me alone; I know what I’m doing” means that I know what I’m doing.
Really, however, Räikkönen said “just leave me alone; I know what to do”, ie leave me alone, I know what to do.
The list could go on no matter how long, but here are a few more:
Many people think that Aleksis Kivi wrote in Nummisuutari: “The world is changing, my Eskos.” Actually, it’s: “The world is changing, Eskoni.”
When a squirrel is sung in the classrooms of Finnish schools, it is sometimes said to sleep on a moss bed. Aleksis Kiven In seven brothersfrom which the poem originates, Squirrel lies sweetly in his moss room.
Väinö Castle Here under the North Star is perhaps the most famous in Finland. In the beginning were swamp, hoe and Jussi. However, the passage is often quoted in an inaccurate form “in the beginning there was a swamp, a hoe and Jussi”. That would be grammatically correct.
Citation researcher Gerald Krieghofer answers a video call in his office in Vienna.
She nods when she hears the Monthly Supplement Lewis Carroll error. This is exactly what happens everywhere and all the time!
“It’s amazing how much is completely misquoted in politicians’ speeches, newspapers, academic publications and social media.”
He began to find out the origins of famous phrases more than ten years ago while working on a dictionary project at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The phenomenon is not new, but in the era of memes, false quotes are spreading at an unprecedented rate and staying alive on the internet.
Krieghofer calls false quotes “cuckoo quotes”. The cuckoo lays eggs in the nests of others and tricks others into hatching their eggs.
He himself has traced the origins of about six hundred commonly used cuckoo citrates. For example, the US site quoteinvestigator.com does the same job.
Krieghoferin the guideline is that almost all famous quotes are worth doubting if they are put up Winston Churchillin, Oscar Wilden or Mark Twain names.
“Or Albert Einstein! Along with Churchill, he is one of the most misquoted people. Send me a list of the most popular quotes that have been claimed in Finland? I claim half of them are false. ”
Of course, such a list does not exist, but at the end of the interview, Krieghofer gets a random sample of the alleged Einsteinian sentences, which have been repeated in Finland as well.
The inspection is ruthless: two quotations are correct, three are invented and one is falsified.
In order to prevent the spread of false information, only those that can be used with confidence by anyone with the blessing of a citation researcher will be described here:
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. Information is limited. Imagination surrounds the world. ” (Einstein said so The Saturday Evening Postin in an interview on October 26, 1929.)
“The important thing is to never stop questioning; curiosity must not be lost. ” (Einstein counseled a young student with these words in 1955.)
