اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "iniquity" with "inequity" or "inequality". "Iniquity" means extreme moral evil or sin, while "inequity" means unfairness, and "inequality" means a lack of equality. Also, "iniquity" is uncountable in this general sense ("a life of iniquity", not *"many iniquities" when talking about behavior in general).
