טעות נפוצה:
Learners sometimes use "detestable" for small, everyday dislikes, such as food tastes (e.g., "This soup is detestable"). While not wrong, in modern English it usually sounds too strong or formal for simple preferences; "I don't like this soup" or "This soup is disgusting" is more natural. Learners may also confuse "detestable" with "detested": "He is a detested man" (past participle) vs. "He is detestable" (has the quality of deserving hate).
