Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes say *'in random'* instead of *'randomly'* or *'at random'*. Use *'The numbers were chosen randomly'* or *'The numbers were chosen at random'*, not *'The numbers were chosen in random'*. Another confusion is with *'arbitrarily'*, which implies a possibly unfair personal choice, while *'randomly'* usually suggests chance without personal bias.

Συχνό λάθος:
Learners may overuse this informal meaning in serious or academic contexts, where it can sound childish or vague. In formal writing, use more precise words like *'unexpectedly'*, *'without warning'*, or *'for no clear reason'* instead of *'randomly'*. Also, this sense usually describes human actions or everyday events, not scientific or statistical processes.
