#132 Our favourite mistakes: Vocabulary

▶️ Please translate the following sentence:
Adashmasam London Angliyaning poytaxti.

❌ Perhaps you think it is:
If I’m not mistaken London is the capital of England.

✅ Well, it should be:
London is the capital of England.

❓Why?

❗️ The phrase “If I’m not mistaken” is totally overused by Uzbek speakers of English. Such a basic and well-known fact like London being the capital of England does not need “If I’m not mistaken”. Saying that sounds like you’re so dumb that you’re not 100% sure. Don’t use this phrase as decoration, it actually means that you’re not sure.
