Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "inbox" and "mailbox." "Inbox" is usually digital (email, app messages), while "mailbox" can be physical (for paper letters) or digital depending on context. Also, learners may incorrectly say *"open your inboxes"* when talking about one person's email; use the singular: "open your inbox."
