Vanligt misstag:
Learners sometimes confuse "policymaker" with "politician". A politician is someone in elected office, while a policymaker is anyone (elected or not) who helps create official rules and plans. Some learners also write it with a hyphen ("policy-maker"), but in modern usage it is usually written as one word: "policymaker".
