Here are two common ones:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Confusing <span data-no-translation>Funny<\/span> and <span data-no-translation>Fun<\/span>:<\/strong><br \/>  - <span data-no-translation>Funny<\/span> means someone makes you laugh. <span data-no-translation>My friend is funny.<\/span> (Correct)<br \/>  - <span data-no-translation>Fun<\/span> describes an activity or experience that is enjoyable, not a person's personality. <span data-no-translation>The party was fun.<\/span> (Correct) <span data-no-translation>My friend is fun.<\/span> (Incorrect for personality, means they are enjoyable to be with, but <span data-no-translation>funny<\/span> is for personality)<br \/>  - <span data-no-translation>He is a funny person.<\/span> (Correct)<br \/>  - <span data-no-translation>He is a fun person.<\/span> (Possible, but <span data-no-translation>funny<\/span> is about making people laugh, <span data-no-translation>fun<\/span> is about being enjoyable to be around.
