Частая ошибка:
Learners often confuse "feat" with "feet" (the plural of "foot"). The words sound the same but are spelled and used differently: "feat" is an achievement; "feet" are body parts. Another common confusion is with the phrase "no mean feat": here "mean" does not mean "unkind"; the expression means that something is NOT easy and is actually quite impressive.

Some learners also write "feat" in normal sentences instead of "featuring," which looks informal or incorrect outside of titles. Pronunciation is usually like "feet" in this use as well.
