According to the American Heritage College Dictionary,: A fan is "an ardent devotee, an enthusiast." A Fanatic is defined as "a person marked by an extreme unreasoning enthusiasm, as for a cause."
Even though in the beginning Fan was used as abreviation of fanatic, it no longer refers to the same "quality" of a person The distinction, then, rests on whether the enthusiasm is ardent or unreasoning (ilogical). I other words Fan ≠ Fanatic. |
I knew what you meant, I was just kidding with you. Otherwise I would have said more than just "fan = fanatic"
