よく混同される語

inlegal vs illegal

Illegal is the standard, correct spelling in modern English; inlegal is a common prefix error.

📝

使い方のコツ

While 'inlegal' follows the general 'in-' prefix rule for negation, standard English requires the 'il-' prefix before words starting with 'L'. It is best avoided in formal writing unless referring specifically to error analysis in linguistics.

⚠️

よくある間違い

Learners often use 'inlegal' because they apply the negation prefix 'in-' (as in 'incorrect') without accounting for the phonetic assimilation that changes 'in-' to 'il-' before the letter 'L'.

💡
