There are a lot of common errors in English that can be encountered among my students, friends, colleagues and other Malaysians. I usually don't have the heart to tell them upfront as it might hurt their feelings. Besides, I don't want them to think that I think I'm too good, because I am not that good. In fact, I still have a lot to learn. Hopefully, this blog will help us to correct our errors so that we could practise good and standard English together.

COLOURED PENCILS or COLOUR PENCILS?
They are called as 'coloured pencils', not 'colour pencils'.
A photograph can be described as a 'colour photograph', not a 'coloured photograph' because of its natural colours.
