اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "omission" with the verb "omit" and say *"the omit of his name"* instead of "the omission of his name". Also, "omission" is often misspelled or misheard as "emission" (which means something that is sent out, like gas or light) or "admission" (which is about allowing entry or acknowledging something). Pay attention to the prefix "o-" and the meaning of leaving something out.
