Erro comum:
Learners sometimes think "thong" always means a type of sandal (from Australian and New Zealand English). In most international English, especially American English, the main meaning is a type of very small underwear or bikini bottom. Also, some learners confuse "thong" with "tanga" or "briefs", which usually offer more coverage.
