Częsty błąd:
Learners sometimes confuse "pecuniary" with "peculiar" because they look similar. "Pecuniary" is always about money or finances, while "peculiar" means strange or unusual. Learners also often try to use "pecuniary" in everyday speech where "financial" or "money" would be more natural; "pecuniary" is best kept for formal or legal contexts.
