자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes confuse "redress" with "address". "Address a problem" means to deal with or talk about it, while "redress a problem" emphasizes fixing an unfair situation or wrong, often with compensation or formal action. Some also misread it as "re-dress" and think it means to put clothes on again, which is an archaic and very rare sense in modern English.

Learners may think "redress" always means money. In fact, it can also mean other forms of remedy, such as a change in policy, an official apology, or the reversal of a decision. Another mistake is using it in everyday casual contexts where a simpler word like "fix" or "make up for" would be more natural.
