Learners sometimes say *"surf on the internet"* instead of *"surf the internet"*. In English, the verb is usually used with a direct object: *surf the internet*, *surf the web*, *surf channels*. Another confusion is mixing this with the sport; context and objects like *internet*, *channels*, or *social media* show it is about electronic media.
