Errore comune:
Learners sometimes confuse 'intolerance' with 'intolerant'. 'Intolerance' is the noun (e.g., 'intolerance toward minorities'), while 'intolerant' is the adjective (e.g., 'He is intolerant of minorities'). Another mistake is using 'intolerance' where 'disagreement' would be better; disagreeing with someone is not always the same as being intolerant of them.
