よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse "mediator" with "moderator." A moderator manages a discussion (for example, a panel or online forum), while a mediator helps people in conflict find an agreement. Learners also sometimes think a mediator makes the final decision, but in normal usage a mediator only helps the parties decide for themselves. Another common error is dropping the preposition "between": say "a mediator between the two sides," not "a mediator the two sides."
