Common mistake:
Learners often confuse "ejaculation" with "orgasm". Orgasm is the strong feeling of sexual pleasure, while ejaculation is the physical release of semen. Many people use "orgasm" in everyday speech; "ejaculation" is more common in medical or educational contexts. Learners also sometimes use the verb *ejaculation* instead of *ejaculate*; the correct verb is "to ejaculate" and the noun is "ejaculation".

Common mistake:
Modern English almost always uses "exclamation" for this idea.

In normal speech and writing, use "exclamation" instead.
