Keep apart infectious (spread through air or water) and contagious (spread by touch), though both are used loosely; usage: infectious smile (that makes others smile).

Infectious (हवा या पानी से फैलने वाला) और contagious (स्पर्श से फैलने वाला) को अलग रखिए, यद्यपि दोनों खुले रूप से प्रयुक्त होते हैं; प्रयोग में infectious smile (दूसरों को मुस्कुराने वाली मुस्कान)।
