Tyypillinen virhe:
Learners sometimes confuse "imperious" with "imperial" or "important." "Imperial" relates to an empire or emperor, while "imperious" describes a person or manner that is bossy and expects obedience. It also should not be confused with "impervious," which means "not affected by" or "not allowing something to pass through."
