Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say *"disable off"* (e.g., *"disable off the Wi‑Fi"*), but *disable* already includes the idea of turning something off, so you should say *"disable the Wi‑Fi"*. Another confusion is between *disable* and *uninstall*: *disable an app* means stop it from running; *uninstall an app* means remove it from the device.
