Dear Alan,

I have just finished a part of tests in the site which deals with distinctions between " error" and " mistake ".

In finally, I still don't understand them clearly.

So, Can you help me to explain clearer how to distinguish following words:
- Error
- Mistake
- Blunder
- Fault
- Misunderstand
- slip

I usually hope you will reply my matters soon.

Thanks for your attention to my progress. I always hope more and more peoples access into your Website ......The best things and success will come to your Bussiness and yours staff

The best regard

So, Can you help me to explain clearer how to distinguish following words:
- Error OFTEN WHEN YOU TYPE THE WRONG LETTER IN YOUR TEXT
- Mistake OFTEN WHEN YOU USE THE WRONG WORD IN YOUR WRITING
- Blunder OFTEN WHEN YOU MAKE A SERIOUS MISTAKE AFFECTING OTHER PEOPLE
- Fault SOMETHING IS WRONG TECNICALLY WITH YOUR TV
- MisunderstandING WHEN YOU DO NOT FOLLOW WHAT SOMEONE IS SAYING
- slip A SMALL MUSTAKE

I usually hope you will reply my matters soon.

Hi,
