Woman: Wow! What were you thinking? Of course your pineapple is going to spoil if you bought it 3 weeks ago and left it on your kitchen counter. We can't give you a new one.
Man: Yeah, but I wasn't thinking properly...it's an ill-error. I didn't realize it because I've been sick and couldn't come into the store without giving everyone here my flu.
Woman: OK, go pick one out and I'll have someone ring it up at no charge.
Man: Thank You...(with a fake sneeze)

A number that is given with very large uncertainties, such that it might be ten or a hundred (or more) times larger or smaller than the value given. Astrophysics is famous for having 'errors in the exponent'
..."We estimate the minimum viable population to be somewhere between 100 and 5000" (extremes from the wikipedia article)
... "in our universe protons decay with a time scale in the range 10^33 - 10^45 years"
These quantities don't have an error in the value, they have an error in the exponent.
