How it's used
Focuses specifically on identifiable errors or flaws within a piece of work, such as a document, an essay, or a calculation. It carries a slightly more formal or objective tone compared to the general term 錯, which is often used for personal mistakes or behavioral errors. Use this when pointing out specific items that need fixing rather than general wrongdoing.
