Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "inconsistency" with "inconvenience" because they look similar. "Inconsistency" is about something not being regular or steady, while "inconvenience" is about something causing trouble or difficulty. Another common issue is using the adjective form by mistake, e.g. saying "the inconsistency policy" instead of "the inconsistent policy" or "the inconsistency of the policy".

Learners sometimes use "difference" where "inconsistency" is better. "Difference" is neutral, but "inconsistency" usually suggests that the difference is a problem or a contradiction. Learners may also overuse the plural, saying "there are inconsistencies" when they are talking about just one specific conflict, where "an inconsistency" is more natural.
