error in transmission

When the meaning of something you say is lost over playing the telephone game.

There was an error in transmission when my friend passed along a message from me and the other person misunderstood what I meant to say.

error-impossibilitator

A mechanism which structurally, physically, or electronically blocks human beings from committing an error.

Walls, locks, and barbed-wire are examples of a structural error-impossibilitator. And the way Web pages are programmed to not allow a user to proceed to the next step until the user types their password, for example, is an example of an electronic error-impossibilitator. Condoms and other pregnancy-prevention devices are also error-impossibilitators. However, some error-impossibilitators are not fool-proof. Parents, teachers, mentors, coaches, personal trainers, security guards or bouncers are not error-impossibilitators because—unless they stand in someone's way—they can only help others prevent errors. Error-impossibilitators are of two types, those that can be circumvented, such as by cutting a barbed wire, and those which cannot be circumvented, such as the wall President Trump offered to build on the U.S.-Mexico border. Note that very few error-impossibilitators are 100% reliable because if someone wants to, they can, for example, dig a tunnel under a wall, as people have done to get to the other side.

error-free

Error-free is a way to live, work, and play by doing what is necessary to not commit any errors.

Though one cannot always determine immediately after executing a specific action whether it was a success, a failure, or an error, time usually answers that question. Living error-free demands greater concentration and skill, is advantageous and well worth it.

Error Time

4:04 am or pm. You should stop whatever you're doing and yell 'STOP... ERROR TIME' as a reference to the famous 404 error.

Guy 1: 'Stop...'
Guy 2: 'Why?'
Guy 1: 'ERROR TIME!'
Guy 2: 'You're a dick.'
