Another mistake is using 'not correct' instead of 'invalid' when talking about documents, tickets, or contracts that are not accepted.

Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse 'invalid' with 'false'. A statement can be false but still logically valid inside an argument, and an argument can be invalid even if its conclusion happens to be true. Outside formal logic, many speakers just use 'invalid' to mean that an argument is not acceptable, so learners do not need to master the strict logical use at first. Also, do not use 'invalid' to describe people; that use is old-fashioned and offensive.
