Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes confuse "haughty" with "naughty" because they look similar, but "naughty" usually describes bad or misbehaving children, while "haughty" describes a proud, unfriendly attitude. Learners may also think "haughty" is a neutral or positive kind of pride; in fact, it almost always has a negative meaning and often appears in written or literary English rather than in everyday speech.
