Is the expression "the cigarret is small" correct or common?
Does it mean the cigarre is shor or the shape is smaller than the ordinary ones?
Thank you very much. |

Cigarette, is the correct spelling.
You can say "The cigarette is small," if you think it is small. Small merely means that it is not big. They are both words that depend on the judgment of those who use them. You might think something is small, that I think is a normal size, for example. |
