Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use *pernicious* to mean simply "very bad" in casual speech, where it sounds too formal or dramatic. It is best used in serious contexts (politics, health, society) and often suggests harm that is gradual, deep, or not obvious at first. Another mistake is confusing *pernicious* with *precious*; they are unrelated in meaning.
