Tyypillinen virhe:
Learners sometimes think 'trot' is only for horses. In modern English it can also describe people and pets moving in a slow run. Many learners also treat 'trot' and 'jog' as identical; 'jog' is more common for people doing regular exercise, while 'trot' sounds slightly more descriptive or story-like.
