ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners often confuse "jewel" and "jewelry". "Jewel" is a countable noun for a single precious stone (e.g. "a jewel", "three jewels"), while "jewelry" is usually uncountable and refers to decorative objects you wear, such as rings and necklaces (e.g. "She loves jewelry," not "She loves jewels" unless you specifically mean the stones).
