자주 하는 실수：
Learners often confuse "lime" and "lemon" because both are sour citrus fruits. A lime is usually green and smaller, while a lemon is usually yellow and larger. Another mistake is treating "lime" as uncountable when talking about the whole fruit; say "three limes" (countable fruits), but "some lime juice" (uncountable liquid).
