Abstract: The paper tries to identify and briefly examine all the possible types of inflation starting from the wrong term generally used for the concept of inflation, namely: inflation rate (i.e. the rate of general price rate) instead of inflation (i.e. the general price rate). There is here an undeniable example about what can make a wrong denomination of an economic concept for the economic theory (and, of course for the economic methodology). In the context, some qualitative analyses and graphical viewings are delivered, in order to put into evidence the features of certain relevant types of inflation. Finally, the paper cannot find the denominations for six new types of inflation, inviting the readers to make proposals for them.
