Amateur speculations about the origin of words based not on the science of language history, but on the naive notion that such speculations do not require any special knowledge, simple guesses are enough. At the same time, on the basis of amateur guesses about the origin of words, such works often draw absolutely fantastic conclusions about the history of entire peoples. In A. A. Zaliznyak's work "From Notes on Amateur Linguistics" shows how such speculations differ from professional linguistics and why they have no chance to reveal the true history of words. Special attention is paid to the most striking example of the use of amateur linguistics to construct a fictitious history of many countries - the so-called "new chronology" of A. T. Fomenko. The second edition also includes the article "On the Book of Veles"
