Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes use "prof" in formal emails or essays (e.g., "Dear prof"), but it is too informal in that context. Use "Professor" instead. Some learners also confuse "prof" with "pro" (short for "professional"), which has a different meaning. Remember that the plural is "profs," not "profes."
