Is the list really neccesary?

Wouldn't this article be much better set up as a description of different types of misnomers with a few well-known or easy to grasp examples for each (ex: Kleenez, Panama hat, koala bear)? -- TRTX ^{T / C} 15:01, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

I think it is necessary, but needs trimming a lot (see discussions below), so that it would be what you describe (albeit longer) and not a list of everything anyone has every misunderstood a_boardley (talk) 17:30, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

I found the article very informative. On the other hand, I understand why some would think there were too many examples, if they don't find the examples fascinating in themselves, as I happen to. Perhaps the solution is to create a separate article called "List of mismomers." Jack 203.106.160.221 (talk) 12:50, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
