Συχνό λάθος:
Learners often confuse "censure" (strong disapproval) with "censor" (to remove or hide parts of books, films, etc.). They may also use "censure" in casual situations where simple words like "criticism" or "disapproval" are more natural, since "censure" is typically formal and institutional.

Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes treat "censure" like the more common verb "censor" and try to use it with objects like "books" or "films" (e.g., *"The government censured the movie"* when they mean it removed scenes; that is "censored," not "censured"). With "censure," the object is typically a person or group, not a piece of content.
