Rumor
(Redirected from Rumour)
A rumor (Commonwealth English: rumour) is a piece of purportedly true information that is circulated without substantiating evidence. Rumors can range from simple gossip to advanced propaganda techniques.
The classic mode of rumor transmission is person-to-person, as in gossip. With the advent of the Internet many rumors have been transmitted via email and more recently blogging, as is the case with various hoaxes and urban legends.
