the wide spread of information
The act of making information or ideas known to many people.
Schéma d’usage :
the dissemination of [information/ideas/knowledge]
Erreur fréquente :
Learners sometimes say *"dissemination about information"* instead of the correct *"dissemination of information"*. Use the preposition "of" after "dissemination" when mentioning what is spread. Learners may also use it in very casual contexts where simpler words like "spread" or "sharing" are more natural.
