Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "commotion" with "emotion" because they look similar; however, "commotion" is about noise and activity, while "emotion" is about feelings. Another mistake is using it mainly in the plural ("commotions"); while grammatically possible, it is much more common in the singular to describe all the noise and activity together. Learners may also forget to use an article and say "there was commotion" instead of the more natural "there was a commotion."

In this sense it can describe social, political, or online reaction, even if the situation is mostly about discussion or media coverage. Another mistake is using the wrong preposition; the most natural patterns are "commotion over [something]" or "commotion about [something]."
