Tyypillinen virhe:
Learners sometimes use *difference* when they want to talk about the process or strategy of making things different. Use *differentiation* for the process (e.g., 'brand differentiation'), and *difference* for the result (e.g., 'There is a big difference'). Learners may also confuse *differentiation* with *discrimination*; *discrimination* often has a negative social meaning, while *differentiation* is usually neutral or positive.
