ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes use "bogus" for people instead of what belongs to them, for example saying "He is bogus" when they mean his story or ID is bogus. It is more natural to say "His story is bogus" or "His ID is bogus." Another issue is using "bogus" in very formal writing, where words like "fraudulent" or "invalid" are usually preferred.
