Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse 'weird' with 'wired' in pronunciation and spelling. 'Weird' means strange, while 'wired' often means connected with wires or very excited. Also, some learners think 'weird' is much stronger or more negative than 'strange'; in modern English 'weird' is common and not always very negative.
