자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes confuse "inscription" with "description" or "subscription" because they look similar. "Inscription" is physical writing on an object, while a "description" is an explanation in words, and a "subscription" is an agreement to pay for a service. Learners may also think it means general "writing"; however, an inscription is specifically on a surface like stone, metal, or a monument and is usually meant to last.
