اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes think "uncouth" just means "a little informal" or "casual", but it is a strong negative word and suggests rude or socially unacceptable behavior. It is also more formal than everyday words like "rude". Another mistake is using it as a noun (e.g., *"He is an uncouth"*); it is an adjective, so you should say "He is uncouth" or "He is an uncouth person."
