Errore comune:
Learners sometimes confuse "irritation" (the feeling) with "irritant" (something that causes irritation) or "irritability" (a general tendency to become irritated easily). Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition; it is usually "irritation at" or "irritation with" someone or something, not *"irritation on" or *"irritation about" in this emotional sense.
