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.

An ‘error' is a deviation from accuracy or correctness. A ‘mistake' is an error caused by a fault: the fault being misjudgment, carelessness, or forgetfulness. Now, say that I run a stop sign because I was in a hurry, and wasn't concentrating, and the police stop me, that is a mistake. If, however, I try to park in an area with conflicting signs, and I get a ticket because I was incorrect on my interpretation of what the signs meant, that would be an error. The first time it would be an error. The second time it would be a mistake since I should have known better.[1]

A gaffe is a verbal mistake, usually made in a social environment. The mistake may come from saying something that is true, but inappropriate. It may also be an erroneous attempt to [[reveal]] a [[truth]]. Finally, gaffes can be [[malapropisms]], grammatical errors or other verbal and gestural weaknesses or [[revelation]]s through [[body language]]. Actually revealing [[fact]]ual or social truth through words or body language, however, can commonly result in embarrassment or, when the gaffe has negative connotations, friction between people involved.

A grammatical or literary error is more embarrassing in the company of [[intellectuals]], professors or serious students, just as errors of [[science]] can be embarrassing among scientists or doctors. The protagonist attorney in the film Liar Liar plays on the [[nature]] of [[truth]] [[revelation]], however, and its ambiguous or unexpected consequences.

As used by some journalists, particularly sportswriters, "gaffe" becomes an imagined synonym for any kind of mistake, e.g., a dropped ball by a player in a baseball game. Philosophers and psychologists interested in the nature of the gaffe include [[Freud]] and [[Gilles Deleuze]]. Deleuze, in his ''Logic of Sense'', places the gaffe in a developmental [[process]] that can culminate in stuttering.
