@goleyakh1234d Hello!
“It’s not uncommon” means that something happens “from time to time”. The thing doesn’t happen SO often that we would say “it’s common,” but it happens often enough that it isn’t rare either. So we say “it’s not uncommon”.
I hope this helps!

It means something that isn't common, but is not rare either. It doesn't happen all the time, but it still occurs.
