Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes say *"stupidness"* instead of *"stupidity"*. In standard English, *"stupidity"* is the normal noun for the quality of being stupid. Also, this noun is usually uncountable in this sense, so we do not normally say *"many stupidities"* when we mean general lack of intelligence; we say *"a lot of stupidity"* instead.

Learners often do not realize that *"stupidity"* can be used as a countable noun for separate actions, usually in fixed phrases like *"an act of stupidity"* or *"a moment of stupidity"*. Saying *"a stupidity"* by itself is grammatically possible but quite rare in modern English; it is more natural to say *"a stupid thing"*.
