The difference between a mistake and an error
Agreed that non-Virgos might not understand the significance of this distinction but this was intended for my fellow Virgos.

I thought other Virgos (who don't already know) might be interested to know the difference between a mistake and an error. Although these words are often used interchangeably, they in fact have different meanings. The difference is that a mistake is when you do something wrong believing that it is right and an error is when you do something wrong out of carelessness. For example, if miss-spelling a word when typing a report, if you spelled a word a certain way deliberately thinking that that was in fact the correct way to spell it (even though it wasn't) then that is a mistake, but if your fingers just slipped and it was accidental (and you really knew how to spell the word) then that is an error. As a Virgo it annoys me when people confuse these two words.
