Συχνό λάθος:
Learners often confuse "practicable" with "practical." "Practicable" means something can actually be done in real conditions. "Practical" usually means useful, sensible, or focused on real situations (a practical person, a practical skill). Learners may also overuse "possible" where a more precise, formal choice like "practicable" or "feasible" would better highlight real-world limits.
