"How do you feel, when an journalists or other people make mistakes like that?" Sarah, it's not a mistake when people do this. It's a devious rhetorical trick used to fool the uninformed and easily swayed.

one remark: "religious figure'.

Religious fiures have milleniums old literary and oral tradition of using quotations in disputes. It has been done for fun, to embellish speech, to actually justify a point (or an action, bad or good)... For any reason. My point si that the tradition is rich and interesting.
There is also a cultrure of sermons. So what I think, it is interesting how this mistreatment of Churchill looks like from within the tradition.

I understand Jerry, when I or learners like me make mistakes. Even though. ..

But when I hear something like that, I feel...what if I didn't knew the original version. And what I don't know. .because it seems that they are used to things like that...

Journalists can do anything. Misquoting Churchill they would make 3 unintentional mistakes within one intentional 'devious trick'.

Now I am reading a laws of journalism and laughing at every word. Objectivity...freedom of thought and human rights :)))
 
Not bad idea to learn an ancient hebrew and greek, just in case some difficulties with translation of some interesting books ....^^
