TANGLE-TANGO

Tangle as a verb means to twist something,as a noun it means a thing that is twisted.While tango on the other hand is a fast South American dance with strong beats.People usually confuse this two words becuase of the idiom,

It takes two to tango .

Saying

"it takes two to tangle " is wrong and unacceptable.

HUMAN-HUMANE

HUMAN refers to mankind

HUMANE means kind,compassionate.
