Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "baseline" with "deadline". A "baseline" is a starting standard for comparison, while a "deadline" is the latest time something must be completed. Learners may also write it as two words "base line" in this sense; in modern usage for this meaning, it is almost always written as one word: "baseline".

Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes mix up "baseline" with "sideline" or use "baseline" for any line on the court. "Baseline" is specifically the back boundary line in sports like tennis and basketball. Spelling it as two words "base line" is also a common error in this sense in learner writing, though some older sports writing may show that form.
