常見錯誤

❌I clicked the cursor on the link.
✅I moved the cursor to the link and clicked on it.
💡'click' is an action you perform with the mouse button, not something you do to the cursor itself.
❌My cursor is very slow.
✅My mouse / trackpad is very slow.
💡slowness usually refers to the input device, not the on-screen marker; the cursor itself does not have speed.
