اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use 'witty' to describe physical appearance (e.g., *a witty dress* or *a witty face*), but in modern English 'witty' almost always describes people, their speech, writing, or comments, not how something looks. Learners also confuse 'witty' with 'funny': something 'funny' can be simple or even silly, but 'witty' suggests clever, intelligent humor, often in words.
