Common Chinese miscues on English idioms
Updated: 2014-07-09 07:39 ( bbs.chinadaily.com.cn)10. "TV dramas"
So I meet you for the first time and I tell you that I am American, so you tell me "I love watching American TV dramas!" It's become so common now that I don't often correct it anymore. I just say, "Wow that's great! What do you like to watch?" then they will say, "Two broke girls." The problem is, that show is a comedy, not a drama. Just say, "TV shows" from now on and you will always be correct!
