Частая ошибка:
Learners often confuse 'notorious' with 'famous'. Both mean 'well known', but 'notorious' is almost always negative, used for bad behavior, crime, scandals, or very unpleasant qualities. Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition: it is correct to say 'notorious for something', not 'notorious of something' or 'notorious about something'.
