اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "drastic" with "dramatic". "Drastic" means very strong or extreme, often as a response to a problem, while "dramatic" often means very noticeable or exciting in a visual or emotional way. Another common mistake is saying *"do drastic measures"* instead of the correct collocation "take drastic measures".
