Častá chyba:
Learners often confuse "suffrage" with "suffering" because they look similar. "Suffrage" means the right to vote, while "suffering" means feeling pain. Another mistake is using "suffrage" to mean a single vote; in modern English, it almost always refers to the general right to vote, not one person's ballot.
