よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse 'fiend' with 'friend' because the words look similar. They are opposites: a 'fiend' is very bad, while a 'friend' is someone you like and trust. Also, 'fiend' is much stronger and more emotional than general words like 'bad person'.

Learners sometimes think 'fiend' only means an evil person. In informal English, 'fiend' can also be positive or playful, meaning someone really loves or does something a lot (for example, 'a fitness fiend'). Also, 'fiend' is countable, so you say 'a fiend for chocolate', not just 'fiend for chocolate'.
