Częsty błąd:
Learners sometimes treat "vigour" as countable and say *"a vigour" or "many vigours"; this is incorrect. Use it as an uncountable noun: "full of vigour", "with great vigour". Learners may also confuse "vigour" with "rigour"; "vigour" is about energy and strength, while "rigour" is about strictness or difficulty.
