===What's the Difference?===
Fract and Fiction 
====Crevasse vs Crevice ====
[kruh-vas] vs [krev-is]
A crevice is a small crack, nook, or cranny on any surface. On a rock it can be helpful to a mountain climber as a foot or handhold. 
A crevasse is a large, deep cavern (especially in a glacier). These are dangerous to mountain climbers, particularly if concealed by vegetation or snow. 
====Fictional vs Fictitious ====
Something is fictional if it comes from a made up work of art, it can also describe a made up work of art. 
Something is fictitious if it is meant to deceive real life. 
I claimed to be married to the fictional character Captain Piccard, but that is a fictitious statement (sadly). -Helen Hong
