⚠️
Mistake: Using != or <> instead of the proper ≠ symbol in math content
Fix: Use ≠ (≠) for mathematical "not equal" notation. The != and <> notations are programming-specific.
⚠️
Mistake: Confusing ≠ (not equal) with ≢ (not identical to)
Fix: Use ≠ for simple inequality and ≢ for "not identical to" in more strict mathematical contexts.
