Over half a dozen handy handbook translations published!

Posted on 22 December 2021 by BaerbelW

Over the last months we've added over half a dozen newly translated handbooks to the relevant overview pages for The Conspiracy Theory HandbookThe Debunking Handbook 2020 and The COVID-19 Vaccine Communication Handbook. As most of these additions will most likely have flown under the radar, we'll highlight these handy resources to fight misinformation in this blog post. Some translations were created with the help of translators from the Skeptical Science volunteers' network while others were created independently. What ties these handbooks and their translations together is, that Skeptical Science founder John Cook has been involved with the creation of all of them, that Wendy Cook created the graphic designs, and that I'm coordinating the translations.

  1. Maybe it's me — I don't know.

    Under "How to talk to a conspiracy theorist," I wonder if there's a better way to write the "Affirm critical thinking: 

    Conspiracy theorists perceive themselves as
    critical thinkers who are not fooled by an official
    account. This perception can be capitalized on
    by affirming the value of critical thinking but then
    redirect this approach towards a more critical
    analysis of the conspiracy theory.56"

    It sounds convoluted to me, not simple enough. Then there's a possibility for a grammar check, "redirect" to "redirecting," and "toward"  instead of "towards"more critical analysis  . . . .

  2. Eddie:

    I agree on "redirecting". It should match the syntax of "by affirming the value". To use "redirect", you'd need to introduce a subject in the sentence - e.g., "but then you should redirect..."

    Toward vs. towards is not an issue. From Wiktionary:

    https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/towards

    Usage notes

    Although some have tried to discern a semantic distinction between the words toward and towards, the only difference in practice is dialectal. Toward is more common in American English and towards is more common in British English, though each form may be found in both varieties.
