常見錯誤

❌I need to withdraw some dosh from the bank machine.
✅I need to withdraw some cash from the bank machine.
💡'dosh' is too informal for a routine banking transaction; 'cash' is neutral and natural here.
❌She keeps all her dosh in a savings account.
✅She keeps all her savings in a bank account.
💡'savings account' is a formal financial term and sounds odd paired with slang.
