- Using ‘sunglass’ instead of ‘sunglasses’: In English, we always say sunglasses (plural), even if it’s one item. I need my sunglasses. (Correct) Not: I need my sunglass. (Incorrect)
- Confusing ‘swimsuit’ and ‘bikini’: A swimsuit is a general word for clothes you wear to swim. A bikini is a specific type of swimsuit for women, with two pieces. So, all bikinis are swimsuits, but not all swimsuits are bikinis.
