Errore comune:
Learners sometimes say *"unexpensive"* instead of *"inexpensive"; the correct word is *"inexpensive"*. Another confusion is between *"cheap"* and *"inexpensive"*: *"cheap"* can sound negative, as if the quality is bad, while *"inexpensive"* is more neutral and does not suggest low quality.
