Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse "sticker" with "stamp." A "stamp" is usually used for mail or official documents, while a "sticker" is any adhesive label or picture you stick onto things. Also, some learners say *"stick"* when they mean the noun *"sticker"* (e.g., *"I put a stick on my laptop"*), but *"stick"* is mainly a verb or a piece of wood.
