Tyypillinen virhe:
Learners sometimes confuse "waiter" and "waitress". In modern English, many people use the neutral word "server" for any gender. Also, "waiter" is a noun; do not say *"He waiters in a restaurant"*—instead say "He works as a waiter in a restaurant" or "He waits tables." Another mistake is using "servant" instead of "waiter"; "servant" means a domestic worker in a private home, not restaurant staff.
