✓ 'Deathlike' means resembling death, while 'deathly' means causing death or extremely.
❌ Using 'deathlike' to describe something simply sad.
✓ 'Deathlike' implies a sense of stillness, silence, or resemblance to death itself, not just sadness.
❌ Overusing 'deathlike' in writing, making it lose impact.
✓ Use 'deathlike' sparingly for maximum effect. Consider other descriptive words.
