Sık yapılan hata:
Learners often use 'incessantly' when 'constantly' or 'all the time' would sound more natural in everyday speech. 'Incessantly' is more formal and usually suggests that something is annoying or too much. For example, 'He calls me incessantly' implies that his calls bother you; 'He calls me all the time' is more neutral. Learners also sometimes confuse the spelling with 'necessary' or 'instantaneously'.
