Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say "I am unanimous" when talking about a single person. "Unanimous" is normally used for a group of people, not an individual. Learners also sometimes confuse "unanimous" with "anonymous"; "unanimous" means everyone agrees, while "anonymous" means a person’s name is not known.

Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say "an unanimous" instead of "a unanimous"; because "unanimous" starts with a /j/ sound (like "you"), the correct article is "a," not "an." Another mistake is using "unanimous" for a simple majority decision; it should only be used when everyone agrees or supports the result.
