Hi,

Could you tell me which one you'd choose:
Quote:
1.These words are easy to mix up in speech
2.These words are easy to mix up in a speech

(or maybe neither of them is correct - in which case could you correct them, please)

Thanks

Both your sentences are correct, but they have different meanings:

1.These words are easy to mix up in speech. = The words can be mixed up in spoken language.

2.These words are easy to mix up in a speech. = The words can be mixed up when giving a talk in public.
