よくある間違い：
Learners often confuse "oar" and "paddle". An oar is usually attached to the boat with oarlocks and used for rowing, while a paddle is usually held freely in the hands. Some also mispronounce it like "or"; it is the same sound as the word "or" in many accents, but the spelling is different.
