Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "incremental" with "incidental". "Incremental" is about small steps of change or growth; "incidental" means something happens by chance or as a minor part of something else. Learners may also overuse "incremental" where simple "small" or "slow" sounds more natural in everyday speech.

Learners often confuse "incremental cost" with "total cost". "Incremental cost" is only the extra cost from doing something more, not the whole amount. Another mistake is to say "incremental money" in casual speech; in everyday English people usually say "extra money" or "additional money" unless they are doing a business or economic analysis.
