Typisk fejl:
Learners sometimes confuse "unscrupulous" with "careless" or "not strict." However, "unscrupulous" does not mean relaxed or easy-going; it means someone does not care about what is right or fair and is willing to cheat or act illegally. Another mistake is using it for things that cannot have morals, like weather or objects; it should describe people, organizations, or their actions and methods.
