常見錯誤

❌He made a misogynistic joke.
✅He told a misogynistic joke.
💡'make a joke' is accepted in American English; 'tell a joke' is more standard in British English.
❌The company's policy is very misogynistic.
✅The company's policy is deeply misogynistic.
💡'very' is unusual with this word; 'deeply' or 'openly' are more natural intensifiers.
