Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes confuse the spelling and use the American form *pediatric* in British English contexts, or mix the two in the same text. Choose one style ("paediatric" for BrE, "pediatric" for AmE) and use it consistently. Another mistake is using it as a noun (e.g. *He is a paediatric*); it is an adjective and should modify a noun (e.g. *He is a paediatric patient* or *He is a paediatric doctor*).
