    Common mistakes to avoid

    Saying "economic" when you mean "economical" (cheap vs. related to the economy).

    Using "eventually" to mean "possibly" (false friend from Romance languages: it means "in the end").

    Confusing "worth" usage: "It worths the money" instead of "It's worth the money."
