اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "dispense" with "spend" or "disperse." "Dispense" means to give out something (often using a machine or in an official way), while "spend" is about using money or time, and "disperse" is about people or things spreading out. Learners also mix up "dispense" and the phrasal verb "dispense with"; the latter means to do without something, not to give it out.
