Four words that many people use incorrectly
First, the word "unflattering." Many people consider this word to be synonymous with the word "unpleasant."
In fact, impartial means impartial and fair.
Secondly, congenial. This is not the superlative form of the adjective "brilliant".
Congenial – close, similar in spirit, way of thinking, talent.
Thirdly, pathos. This is not a synonym for pompous. The word pathos comes from the Greek pathos - "passion".
The dictionary meaning of the word “pathetic” is inspired, elated, pathetic.
Fourthly, odious. Many people believe that this word means "outstanding", "famous".
In fact, odious means extremely unpleasant, causing an extremely negative attitude.
