Tyypillinen virhe:
Learners sometimes confuse "insurrection" with "resurrection"; "insurrection" is about violent political uprising, while "resurrection" is about coming back to life. Another mistake is using "insurrection" for any protest; it should involve an attempt to overthrow or violently challenge authority, not just a demonstration or march.
