Ill除了指生病,也可以指有害的:

I have always known about some of the ill effects of smoking but did not know how harmful it could be.我知道抽菸有不良影響,但我不知道傷害這麼大。

非常口語的用法中,ill和sick都可以用來表示太酷了,太讚了。聽到人家說 "This is ill."或"This is sick." 不要馬上以為是批評,分辨一下他們的神情語調,他的意思可能是"This is awesome."

較少,形容的對象是不可數的群體或總數。

Fewer和Less分別為few和little的比較級,意思接近,用的時機卻不一樣,因為less是副詞,fewer是形容詞。
