Typisk fejl:
Learners sometimes confuse "intolerable" with "intolerant". "Intolerable" describes a situation or thing that is too bad to accept (an intolerable situation), while "intolerant" describes a person who does not accept other people or ideas (an intolerant person). Learners also sometimes use "very intolerable"; because "intolerable" is already very strong, it is usually better to say "completely intolerable" or just "intolerable".
