A common mistake

An oar and a paddle are the same thing.→An oar rests in the boat; a paddle is held free.

An oar sits in a rowlock on the side of the boat and the rower faces backwards. A paddle is held in both hands with nothing fixing it, and the paddler faces forwards — which is what a canoe uses.
