❌ Confusing 'deadly' with 'deathly'.
✓ 'Deadly' means capable of causing death, while 'deathly' means resembling death.
❌ Misusing 'deadly' to describe something merely unpleasant.
✓ 'Deadly' should only be used for things that are genuinely dangerous or harmful.
❌ Using 'deadly' when 'serious' is more appropriate.
✓ Consider the degree of danger. If it's just serious, not life-threatening, use 'serious'.
