用法筆記
Frequently modified by adverbs such as 'widely', 'generally', or 'universally'. Often pairs with nouns that describe conventions or norms (practice, standard, fact, behaviour). Best used when something was once questioned or unconventional; for self-evident truths, simpler words like 'common' or 'normal' are more natural.
