عام غلطی:
Learners often confuse the spelling of "heroin" (the drug) with "heroine" (a brave or main female character). They sound almost the same in many accents but have completely different meanings. Another mistake is using "heroin" to mean any illegal drug; it is only one specific drug, not a general word for drugs.
