Oh, Wikipedia, is there nothing you don't know?

You can find info about material fallacies, verbal fallacies, and deductive fallacies simply by click here.

You're not likely to need any of these terms on the exam, but it's pretty interesting stuff anyway.

Happy Weekend!

    Thanks Mr. Kline!

    Wait... does that mean there is no difference between material and logical fallacies?

    Sure seems like it. The term "logical fallacy" itself appears under the Deductive Fallacy heading, so this article considers a "logical fallacy" to have a fairly narrow definition; I don't think that narrow definition is terribly common.
