Veelgemaakte fout:
Learners sometimes use *workmanship* to talk about effort or the amount of work, saying things like "I admire your workmanship" when they mean "I admire how hard you worked." *Workmanship* is about the quality and skill of the finished product, not the effort or time. It is also an uncountable noun in this sense, so avoid forms like *workmanships*.
