It's tolerance not toleration

[PuddingAndHotMilk]

Just that really.

I've heard 2 news reports in the last 24 hours about women wearing niqab and in both they talked about 'toleration'.

It makes my teeth itch. Is it just me?

"Toleration" is a word. It seems they are using it correctly in the context you mention.

Similar but I cringe when people say "inducement" when they mean induction.

Scone, thanks. I do live and learn
