Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes think 'rue' is common in everyday casual speech, but most native speakers usually say 'regret' instead. 'Rue' often sounds formal, literary, or dramatic, and is especially common in the fixed phrase 'rue the day'. Learners also sometimes confuse the spelling with 'rude', which is a completely different word.
