deceived by:

or overindulgence, and usually not abuse.
Disposer means to arrange or to have available,
not to dispose of.
Une injure is an insult, not an injury.
Actuel and actuellement mean current and
currently.
Avertissement is a warning, not an
advertisement.
Une recette is a recipe, not a receipt.

furniture.
Original means new or innovative,
while originel refers to origins.
