자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes confuse "insolence" (noun) with "insolent" (adjective). Use "insolence" for the behavior (e.g., "his insolence"), and "insolent" to describe a person or remark (e.g., "an insolent student"). Another mistake is using it for positive boldness; unlike "confidence" or "outspokenness," "insolence" is always negative and rude.
