incongruencies
Things that clash
Incongruencies are instances where things don't fit together or match as expected—mismatches, inconsistencies, or things that seem out of place.
The word appears in formal or analytical contexts: The auditor noted several incongruencies in the financial statements.
There were incongruencies between his story and the evidence.
The singular incongruency is less common than incongruity, but the plural form incongruencies appears with some regularity.
