Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse 'tier' with 'tear'. 'Tier' (level) is pronounced like 'teer' and means a level in a system. 'Tear' (to rip) has a different meaning and, in the verb form, a different pronunciation. Learners also sometimes use 'floor' instead of 'tier'; 'tier' usually refers to abstract levels of quality, service, or status, not physical floors in a building.
