As I explore career and life work with the Web, one oddiity I have run across involves extreme misinformation. Sometimes it's clickbait, but I found a few slides I believe might have been well-intended to help in 2013 to raise funds for my immuno and blood meds. So I won't link

I really hope that whether joke or belief, these inaccuracies should be corrected. History is forgotten and repeated as we see escalating now. Let's not encourage it. Ready, here we go! #WrongQuotes #NotMolly #Correction #Please

"If Tim Berners-Lee is the inventor of the World Wide Web, [than] Molly Holzschlag is its Fairy Godmother." This quote spread but is not accurate imo. TTo my memory, and please, help out, was said to me by @kplawver and only included me as Fairy Godmother. #Misinforation

And this is one possible outcome but I do not have Hepatocellar Carcinoma. I am winning. "Molly has liver cancer." #Misinformation

Replying to @mholzschlag
Well not single handed, but I would argue that your work with Acid2 etc changed a lot. And I'd like to think that when WaSP created Acid2 it was a pivoting moment in Web history. That face did change a lot and a lot of Frontend devs should be thankful to you and other WaSPs ;)

This was largely @Hixie as I recall - WaSP published them. It was very interesting to observe both tests in a time where implementation and layout engines were all over the place.
