常見錯誤

The transistorized is broken.
The transistorized radio is broken.
💡Transistorized is an adjective, not a noun; it needs a noun like 'radio' or 'device' to modify.
They bought a transistorised radio.
They bought a transistorized radio.
💡Both spellings exist, but -ized (with z) is standard in American English; -ised is British. Choose one consistently.
