Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse "rigorous" with "vigorous." "Rigorous" means very careful and detailed, while "vigorous" means strong and full of energy. For example, "rigorous testing" (careful, detailed) is correct; "vigorous testing" would mean energetic testing, which sounds odd in most contexts.
