常見錯誤
❗ 'Rosemarry' or 'rosmary' ✅ 'rosemary' — the spelling has one 'r' after 'rose' and no 'r' between 'm' and 'a'.
❗ 'Rosemary is a kind of flower' ✅ 'Rosemary is a bush with needle-like leaves and small blue or purple flowers.' — the plant's leaves, not its flowers, are what make it famous in cooking.
