hmmmmm, I can't decide but I'm used to use mistake all the time.
error actually is just used by my PC when an error occurs
I don't know what is the difference, never thought there will be a difference !!
please do explain :)

Thank you, Pearls, I am much obliged to you for being a new active member in this forum.
As you mentioned that we use ' MISTAKE ' in our everyday life conversations, but concerning the difference, I think it is too early to answer.
Some other members need to take part to get certain keys for us.

hi
as Pearls said i havent a clue
B _2
thank you

Thanks, but we will wait for more participations

well
I think that the difference between them is that Errors occur while mistakes
are made

so " some definitions are in order. H. D. Brown (1994:205) offers the following distinctions. A mistake, he says, is "a performance error that is either a random guess or a ‘slip,’ in that it is a failure to utilize a known system correctly." According to this definition, a native speaker could make a mistake in her native language. Errors, on the other hand, are problems that a native speaker would not have. Brown defines an error as "noticeable deviation from the adult grammar of a native speaker, reflecting the interlanguage competence of the learner." "

so errors occure when we have no knowledge about something
BUt when we do the same error in this case we call it a mistake because we already have a knowledge about that thing

Thanks Sorgul, you did a good job :wink:

i think that when we do a little problem we call it error but when it was abig problem we call it mistake :)
