Erreur fréquente :
Learners often use "customer" or "consumer" when "purchaser" is better. Use "purchaser" in formal, legal, or business writing, especially in contracts or when talking about who has legal rights after buying something. Also, some learners try to use "purchaser" as a verb (e.g., "He purchasered a car"); the correct verb is "purchase" and the noun for the person is "purchaser".
