خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse 'heterosexual' with 'homosexual' because the words look similar. Remember: 'hetero-' means 'different', so 'heterosexual' is attraction to a different sex; 'homo-' means 'same', so 'homosexual' is attraction to the same sex. Learners may also overuse the formal adjective when the neutral informal word 'straight' would sound more natural in casual conversation.
