Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "pitiless" with "pitiful." "Pitiless" describes someone who does not feel pity. "Pitiful" usually means something is so sad or weak that it makes you feel pity, or informally that something is very bad or poor. Another mistake is spelling it as *pityless* instead of the correct *pitiless*.
