Częsty błąd:
Learners often confuse "spectator" with "audience" and "viewer". Use "spectator" mainly for live events like sports games, races, or outdoor shows, especially where people stand or sit around an area. Use "audience" for concerts, theater, talks, and most indoor performances. Use "viewers" for people watching TV or online video.
