常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse 'earl' with the personal name 'Earl', which is capitalized and used as a first name. Some also think 'earl' means any rich man, but it is specifically a formal noble title in the British system. In many European countries the similar rank is called 'count', but in Britain the correct term is 'earl'.
