عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse this meaning with the idea of seriousness and say things like *"the gravity of my exam"* when they mean *"the seriousness of my exam"*. Another common mistake is adding an article and saying *"the gravity pulls it down"* instead of simply *"gravity pulls it down"*, because gravity is usually treated as an uncountable noun.
