Re:HELP: When bad like good?
the word or words you are searching for depend very much so on the content in which they are to be used. if we where to choose a word for you to use then it would just be guessing. i have made a list of words that can be put into the category they are as follows:
fable, fabrication, fairy tale, falsehood, falsity, fib, mendacity, prevarication, story, tale, taradiddle (or tarradiddle), untruth, whopper, distortion, exaggeration, half-truth; ambiguity, equivocation, obliquity; defamation, libel, slander; perjury; bluff, fiction, pose, pretense (or pretence); humbug, jive, nonsense; canard, fallacy, misconception, myth; falsification, misinformation, misreport, misrepresentation, misstatement; deceit, deceitfulness, dishonesty, duplicity, fraudulence
they all for the most part mean the same thing, but they each have a different sub content in them as well. i hope this helps :)

Re:Re:HELP: When bad like good?
Luiz Almeida, thank's for your answer!
I don't know I'm right or not but I think that words "lie" or "deception" is for common use as general replacements of word "false" at any false situation.
I very wait answers from native english speakers. May they know which english word is correctly to use for precisionly describe werewolf false?

Re:HELP: When bad like good?
Eugene,
The situation you described brings more than one word to my mind.
The first, and probably the most obvious, is the word LIE. this is a plain situation of someone LYING to another person about something.
The second word is DECEIVE. The one who advertises that something bad is good has the intention to DECEIVE someone.
Hope it helps.

HELP TO PASSENGERS!
Excuse me please for my poor english.
I explain a important question by example:
----------------------------
Ship "Titanic" to have a serious defect in its main root.
Manufacturer to know about this great defect. But manufacturer arranged it beautifully and manufacturer announces only that all is very good, ship "Titanic" is excellent and is the best even!
----------------------------
Manufacturer lies. But what kind of this lies?
Ship "Titanic" is very comfortable, beauty and attractively for most peoples! But what kind of this beauty?... ;-)
It's possible to explain correctly by one english word about that kind of false, when BAD situation is masked FULLY OPPOSITE as GOOD?
May your right answer will help to many passengers in future! ;-)

Re:Re:HELP: When bad like good?
Jane Armitage, thank's for answer! I feel also that word "hypocrisy" is not correctly for characterise researched case. I found this word in Google's internet translator, which isn't reliable source, unfortunately.
