عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse 'cabbage' with 'lettuce'. Lettuce has softer leaves and is usually eaten raw, while cabbage has thicker leaves and is often cooked. Also, 'cabbage' can be both countable and uncountable: you can say 'three cabbages' (three whole heads) or 'some cabbage' (an amount of the vegetable).
