Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say *"an etiquette"* or *"etiquettes"*, but the word is almost always uncountable and used without an article, like "good etiquette" or "proper etiquette". It is also sometimes confused with "ethics": ethics is about right and wrong in a moral sense, while etiquette is about what is polite or socially acceptable.
