Common Mistakes

  • ✗ Please fill out the diet restrict notice.

    ✓ Please fill out the dietary restrictions notice.

    'Dietary' is the adjective form needed to describe 'restrictions', and 'restrictions' must be plural in this standard phrase.

  • ✗ I need to submit my food problems notice.

    ✓ I need to respond to the dietary restrictions notice.

    'Food problems' is too informal and incorrect; the standard formal travel term is 'dietary restrictions'.
