misquoting & misattributing

i hate reading quotes that have been attributed to the wrong author, abbreviated for a graphic, or attributed to a respected person to give the words more weight, piggybacking on their credibility.

examples:
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” - Ghandi (nope.)
List of Misquotations

grammar aside, "don't believe everything you hear," printed in quotation marks above a guy who never said that, just makes it worse.
