Common Mistakes People Often Do

Firstly, not trying to outsmart anybody. This is just a thread of sharing knowledge.

I found ppl often unconsciously did the same (perhaps common) error or wrong diction of word

Here's what i've found :

1. COSTUMER / CUSTOMER :

Spoiler for EXPLANATION:

COSTUMER =
a person or company that makes or supplies theatrical or fancy-dress costumes

CUSTOMER =
a person or organization that buys goods or services from a store or business

**** THE KING IN ECONOMIC TRANSACTION IS CUSTOMER ******

2. EVENT / EVEN =

Spoiler for EXPLANATION:

Frankly speaking, the usage of event and even frequently for daily conv. are correct. However ppl are most likely to mispronounce.

EVENT >>>>>> / i - vent /
read the 'e' in 'vent' = 'e' in SATEEEEEEEEE

Spoiler for EVENT:

EVEN >>>>>>> / i - vən /
read the 'e' in 'vən' = 'e' in ELANGG !!!!

Spoiler for EVEN:

Original Posted By pathfinder87►Sweater VS sweeter

Steak VS stick

Gravity VS graffiti

*they all relate to mistakes in pronunciation

3. STEAK / STICK

Spoiler for EXPLANATION:

STEAK = the 'e' is read as 'e' in SATE ; and followed with silent i
will be like /s'teik/

STICK = /stik/ .

Spoiler for don't eat stick:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> REMEMBER, WE (NORMALLY) CONSUME STEAK(PRONOUNCE LIKE SATE). INSTEAD OF STICK<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

4. GRAVITY / GRAFFITI

Spoiler for EXPLANATION:

gravity = /gre.vi.ti/
the 'a' is pronounced as 'e' in sate...

graffiti = /gra.fi.ti/
the 'a' is pronounced as 'a' in ayam....

Spoiler for graffiti:

5. FEET / FEED

Spoiler for EXPLANATION:

actually it's the matter of how your tongue twist betweet the 'T' and the 'D', just pay more attention when you're pronouncing these words. Can't be substitutes, bloke. emoticon-Ngakak

6. SWEATER / SWEETER

Spoiler for EXPLANATIONS:

SWEATER = SWEAT.ER
read the 'sweat' >> the 'ea' will be read as 'e' in sate, the remaining 'a' stay silent. so it will be /swet/-er

for SWEETER = /swii'ter/
double e = i >>> swii

7. FREELANCE / FREE LAND

Spoiler for EXPLANATION:

FREELANCE (FREE LANCE) = /fri'-lans/
the 'a' is pronounced as 'a' in ayam...

FREE LAND = /fri'-len/
the 'e' = 'e' in sate.

8. SEASON / SESSION

Spoiler for EXPLANATION:

SEASON = /si'sen'/
the 'e' is pronounced as 'e' in elangggg...

SESSION = /se-'syen'/
the 'se' = 'e' in sate ;; the 'syen' = 'e' in elang!

9. RECCOMENDED / RECOMMENDED / RECCOMMENDED SELLER ?

Spoiler for EXPLANATION:

REMEMBER **** DOUBLE M **** REMEMBER
IT SHOULD BE === RECOMMENDED

e.g = He is recommended seller

10. COFEE / COFFE / COFFEE ??

Spoiler for EXPLANATION:

REMEMBER **** DOUBLE F , DOUBLE E **** REMEMBER
IT SHOULD BE === COFFEE

e.g = We drink COFFEE every morning

11. CHOCOLATE / CHOCOLATTE / CHOCHOLATTE ?

Spoiler for EXPLANATION:

read : /cha'-klet/ (klet : in elang)
REMEMBER **** NOTHING DOUBLED HERE, NOTHING !!**** REMEMBER
IT SHOULD BE === CHOCOLATE
