Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners often confuse "unwonted" with "unwanted" because they look similar. "Unwonted" means "unusual" or "not typical", while "unwanted" means "not wanted" or "not desired". For example, "unwonted attention" means attention that is unusual, but "unwanted attention" means attention that someone does not want.
