Častá chyba:
Learners often confuse “copy” and “paste”. “Copy” makes a copy of the text or image and keeps the original, while “paste” puts that copy into a new place. Some also confuse this digital meaning with the physical “paste” used as glue; in computer contexts, “paste” always refers to moving data, not using glue.
