عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use *discern* in very casual situations where native speakers would prefer *see* or *tell*. For example, *I discern your new haircut* sounds unnatural; *I see your new haircut* is better. Another mistake is adding a preposition: we usually say *discern something*, not *discern about something*.
