Typisk fejl:
Learners sometimes confuse "periodic" with "regular" meaning "ordinary" or "normal" (e.g. *a periodic customer*). "Periodic" should describe things that happen again and again over time, such as checks, payments, or meetings. Learners also mix up "periodic" (adjective) with "periodical" (noun) for magazines or journals.
