Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes confuse “prostitution” with general sexual behavior, such as having many sexual partners. However, prostitution always involves sex in exchange for money or some kind of payment. It is incorrect to call someone a “prostitution” (use “a prostitute” or, more neutrally, “a sex worker” for a person).
