Learners often confuse "blond" with "blonde". In modern English, both spellings are used, and many dictionaries treat them as the same word; "blonde" is slightly more common for females and as a noun in some varieties. Another mistake is saying *"My hairs are blond"*; in English, "hair" is usually uncountable in this sense, so say "My hair is blond."

Learners sometimes use the noun "a blond" only for women because of influence from other languages or older style guides. In modern English, especially American English, "blond" (or "blonde") as a noun can be used for both men and women, although some speakers prefer to avoid it to reduce stereotyping. Another mistake is trying to pluralize as *"blondes people"*; the correct form is "blonds" or "blondes."
