Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes use *erroneous* for people instead of their ideas or actions (e.g., saying "an erroneous person" is unnatural; say "an erroneous belief" or "his view is erroneous"). Many also confuse the register and use it in casual speech where "wrong" or "not correct" would be more natural. Note that *erroneous* is mainly used with abstract nouns like *assumption, belief, conclusion, report, data, information*.
