సాధారణ తప్పు:
Learners sometimes say *"to the northward"* in everyday speech, which sounds old-fashioned; use *"northward"* or simply *"north"* instead. Another common confusion is between *"northward"* and *"northwards"*; both are correct, but *"northwards"* is more British, while *"northward"* is slightly more American or formal.
