Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse 'scrupulous' with 'unscrupulous', which has the opposite meaning. Another mistake is using it only to mean 'careful' without the idea of honesty, for example: '*He is scrupulous when he drives*' (better: 'He is very careful when he drives' unless you specifically mean morally careful).
