How to use "Inability" in context?
Limited ability to do something is usually a sign that you do not have the requisite skills, knowledge, or experience to complete the task. Limited ability can also be a sign that you are not fully participating in the task or that you are not following the proper procedures. It can also be the result of a physical, mental, or emotional limitation. Ultimately, anything that stands in the way of your ability to complete a task is an obstacle. Obstacles can come in many shapes and sizes, but they all have the same goal: to prevent you from completing the task.
