Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse "conformity" with "confirmation". "Conformity" is about being similar to others or following rules and norms; "confirmation" is about showing that something is true. Learners may also overuse "with"; for social norms, both "conformity to social norms" and "conformity with social norms" occur, but "to" is more common in this sense.
