The [[word]] '''error''' has different [[meaning]]s and usages [[relative]] to how it is [[concept]]ually applied. The concrete meaning of the [[Latin]] word error is "wandering" or "straying". To the contrary of an [[illusion]], an error or a mistake can sometimes be dispelled through [[knowledge]] (knowing that one is looking at a mirage and not at real water doesn't make the mirage disappear). However, some errors can occur even when [[individuals]] have the required knowledge to perform a task correctly. Examples include forgetting to collect your change after buying chocolate from a vending [[machine]], forgetting the [[original]] document after making photocopies, and forgetting to turn the gas off after cooking a meal. These slip errors can occur when an individual is distracted by something else. | The [[word]] '''error''' has different [[meaning]]s and usages [[relative]] to how it is [[concept]]ually applied.
