Częsty błąd:
Learners often confuse "rim" with "brim" and "edge". Use "rim" for the physical top edge of a round object, especially cups and glasses. "Brim" often suggests the top edge when something is full (e.g. "filled to the brim"), and "edge" is more general. Also note the common pattern "the rim of the glass", not "the glass's rim" in most neutral styles.
