Wrong audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Wrong. An adjective, adverb, and noun, pronounced RONG — in phonetics, /rɒŋ/.
Narrator: Wrong means not correct, not true, or not right — a wrong answer, a wrong turning, or a moral wrong, something unjust or bad.
Narrator: It comes from the Old English 'wrang', borrowed from Old Norse, originally meaning 'crooked' or 'twisted' — the opposite of straight and true.
Narrator: From that idea of crookedness it grew two branches: factually mistaken, like a wrong sum, and morally bad, like doing wrong.
Narrator: In tone, wrong is everyday and direct — plain in conversation, but weighty when it speaks of justice and right and wrong.
Narrator: So keep this in mind: wrong is the opposite of right — mistaken in fact, or unjust in deed.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: I think I gave the wrong directions earlier — we ended up on the wrong side of town.
Speaker B: Easy mistake. 'Wrong' there means not correct, the opposite of right.
Speaker A: Exactly. And it would be wrong to blame the driver; it really was my fault.
Speaker B: Quick tip — 'wrong' can mean factually mistaken, or morally bad. Context shows which you mean.
Speaker A: Right. So a wrong answer, but also doing the wrong thing.
Speaker B: Exactly. A close cousin is 'incorrect', though incorrect is for facts, while wrong also covers what's unfair or unkind.
Speaker A: Handy. So wrong means mistaken, or unjust.
Speaker B: Perfectly. Wrong: not right, in fact or in deed.
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: Today 'wrong' is our memory hook for prompts about error handling and validation — telling the AI to catch wrong input and respond clearly when something goes wrong.
Speaker A: So the word reminds us of catching mistakes and bad input?
Speaker B: Exactly. Let's start with a form.
Speaker B: It works because 'wrong' names exactly what we're guarding against.
Speaker A: Nice. What about an API?
Speaker B: Try this.
Speaker A: Right, 'wrong' makes the error-handling idea obvious.
Speaker B: Now a login.
Speaker B: Calling it 'wrong' keeps the failure-path focus clear.
Speaker A: Can we do a payment?
Speaker B: Here's a tight one.
Speaker A: And one for a quiz app?
Speaker B: This one's memorable.
Speaker A: I love how 'wrong' makes 'handle the error path' easy to recall.
Speaker B: That's the trick — say 'wrong', and the AI plans for mistakes and bad input, instead of assuming everything always goes right.
