Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes write the plural as *deers*. The correct plural form is the same as the singular: *one deer, two deer*. Learners may also confuse *deer* (the animal) with *dear* (a word for someone you care about or meaning ‘expensive’); they sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings.
