Some words often misused:

Unaware and Unawares

Unaware: –adjective >> a state of being not aware or being unconscious:
E.g., I am unaware of yesterday's development. Synonyms are> Unsuspecting, ignorant.

Unawares: –adverb >> happening without warning; by surprise; suddenly; unexpectedly
E.g., The war caught the soldiers unawares.

Please note the class of words and position of usage.

'Unaware' is an adjective, describing the 'position' or 'state' of a person in relation to an event/affair

'Unawares' is an adverb, describing 'how' of an event in relation to a person's knowledge position.

Read through examples above again to detect the use of both.

Avoid [/b]and [b]Afford


Avoid to keep away from; keep clear of; shun; to prevent from happening. E.g., "The boy avoids contact with the police"

Afford to have the financial means for; bear the cost of: E.g., "The poor woman could not afford her child's new tuition"


But it is common to hear; "The price is too much that I can't avoid it". This is word misuse.
