No, "confused" is an adjective.

"Confussion" is an abstract noun

Thanks Albertino! You're right.

By the way, how can ask for language correction whenever I post something? I read somewhere that there's a button or something but I can't find it.

If we had signatures in this forum, you could do it there - and I believe that may be coming - Red5 is considering it, I think. Until then, you could use the same trick as Lenka and put a message in your avatar.
