자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes say *"speaker of the company"* instead of *"spokesperson for the company"*. Use the pattern: *a spokesperson for [organization]*. Learners may also confuse *spokesperson* with *spokesman*/*spokeswoman*; *spokesperson* is gender-neutral and is preferred in modern English, especially in news and formal writing.
