British, mr., i : what type of errors is it?

Tamara · Tue Oct 03, 2006 13:57 pm *British, mr., i : what type of errors is it?*

Hi

I am not too familiar with the classification of errors in English.
Of course, I know 'grammar', 'punctuation' and 'spelling' mistakes - generally,
but sometimes, doing exersise, I am begining to have my doubts Smile

about my general understanding of the classification.

One of those specific cases is with upper-lower letters.

english, mr. Colin, i, etc - what class/type/kind of mistakes is it in English?

Hi Tamara

So sorry to hear you're having your doubts about things again. Wink

I think the expression you're looking for is "capitalization mistake" (but in your neck of the woods you might want to change the spelling to "capitalisation" Wink

).

You could also call them 'majuscule/minuscule' errors. The trouble is, a 'minuscule error' might just be a small one.

I don't know whether Slava will get back to this thread, so I've fixed your title (and my typo), Tamara.
