عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"I like your decorate"* instead of *"I like your decoration"* when talking about objects that make a place look nice. Use *decoration* (noun) for the thing itself, and *decorate* (verb) for the action. Also, do not use *decoration* for make-up on a person’s face; use *make-up* or *cosmetics* instead.

عام غلطی:
Learners often use *decoration* instead of *decor* or *style*, saying things like *"I like the decoration of her clothes"* when they mean the general look of what she wears. Use *style* or *design* for a person’s general look, and *decoration* mainly for rooms, events, and objects. Also, in many cases *decor* (uncountable) sounds more natural for the overall look of an interior.
