よくある間違い:
Learners sometimes mix up "appalling" and "appealing" because they look similar. "Appalling" means extremely bad and shocking, while "appealing" means attractive or interesting. Learners may also use "appalling" for things that are only a little bad; in natural English, it is very strong and suggests serious shock or moral anger.

Learners may overuse "appalling" for small problems, where native speakers would say "bad" or "not very good". "Appalling" is very strong and suggests something is much worse than normal. They also sometimes confuse it with "annoying"; "appalling" is about very bad quality, not just something that bothers you a little.
