Concept in Definition ABC

When we talk about making mistakes, we are referring most of the time to what was not correct, to the failure, mistake or error in which it fell.
"The mentalist we visited was wrong in almost all of his predictions about our futures." "Ronaldinho missed the penalty one minute after the end of the game and the game was tied at 0".

Mistake or error incurred for various reasons

This mistake or error can occur in the most varied situations.

The failure in a judgment or concept, when someone insists on affirming as true something that obviously is not true and therefore denies what it is.
On the other hand, also, it will be possible err in the direction you have decided to take; Y when speaking or when to writeWithout following a certain theme or purpose, you will be making mistakes.

Therefore, it is really common that the term errar is used as a synonym of error and that in many situations they are used interchangeably. Because the error is precisely that judgment or assessment that is opposed to the criterion that is understood as valid.

In other words, the error is the false knowledge that we have about something or someone, this also implies that the thing is known but in a distorted way without the slightest adequacy with the truth.

You can err on facts, ideas, and things, among others.

No one is exempt from error, from erring, and it may be due to the use of a procedure that is not the best, due to clumsiness, ignorance, lack of experience, due to negligence or inexperience, among so many other options.

To err is human

Errare Humanun est, is a expression in Latin it literally means: to err is human.
As we said, it is intrinsic to human nature to make mistakes, for example, you have to admit mistakes, capitalize on them, and thus avoid committing them again.

This phrase has become hyper popular and therefore is said every time someone makes a mistake, as an excuse and mitigating the mistake made.

The phrase is attributed to many thinkers of antiquity, including Saint Augustine.

Although, as we said, to err is human, in some contexts, making a mistake can be the trigger for a serious accident.

If we are walking in our car and we see that the traffic light turned red but we miscalculate the time of braking and hitting another vehicle will be our fault, our mistake, and we may cause physical harm to someone.

For example, it is important, in some contexts such as the one mentioned, to always be vigilant because erring in them can cost your life.

Aimless behavior displayed by someone

On the other hand, the word errar is used to refer to that behavior without direction or destination that a person can have, who goes from one place to another without being able to settle in a definitive place. His wandering becoming is what prevents him from forming a family.
“The beggar wandered the streets without finding a safe place in which to protect himself from the rain”.

Start the imagination

And in another of the situations in which the term is used with recurrence is when you want to refer that this or that is especially characterized by letting your thoughts, your fantasies and your imagination wander.
"Juan likes to wander between his fantasies."

Errata

As we pointed out lines above, error is a very human behavior and it happens all the time. Meanwhile, in terms of writing of texts, documents and in the written press it is very common for the authors of these writings to err in some aspect: orthography, a wrong data, among others.

These errors are usually corrected after editing and are corrected through the so-called errata, which is a section, a page, which is intended to mention the error incurred and provide the information or correction corresponding to the case.
