자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes treat "rum" as always countable and say "many rums" when they mean many glasses of rum. Use "some rum" for the drink in general, and "a glass of rum" or "two rums" when talking about servings. Learners may also confuse the spelling and pronunciation with "room" or "Rome".
