用法パターン：
toleration of [beliefs/behavior/group]
よくある間違い：
Learners often use *toleration* when *tolerance* is more natural in modern English. In everyday speech, people usually say "religious tolerance" or "tolerance of different views". *Toleration* sounds more formal, historical, or legal, and is common in phrases like "religious toleration" or "a policy of toleration".
