In this essay, after providing a definition of linguistic error and emphasizing the cultural significance of this notion, examples of linguistic errors with viral characteristics are sought in order to try to understand which of these characteristics are functional to the propagation of error, also in the light of the notion of linguistic and cultural imaginary.
