fielding error

This is something that does not exist while the Hawks are at bat. Because they do not exist all batted balls are considered hits.
Shouldn't that be a fielding error because she threw the ball 15 feet over the first baseman's head?
Nope thats 100% a single.

Shouldn't that be a fielding error because the ball went through the third basemen's legs?

Rowbotham error

A term used as an alternative for Parallax Error.

Etymologically, parallax error is the term that you would really want to be attributed to Samuel Rowbotham, who used the pseudonym "Parallax" and have promoted Flat Earth pseudoscience belief. Parallax exists in the word "Parallax error", so it would be so cool if the term originated from him because he has made an "error". But the reality is disappointing, this term doesn't get attributed to him. Therefore, we can replace the Parallax error with the "Rowbotham error".
Teacher: Why the thermometer reading yours is false?

Student A: Oh, I have made a Parallax error.
Student B: Do you mean the Rowbotham error? Either way, but at least you don't miscalculate the diameter of the Flat Earth.

copastian error

Errors made when copying and pasting in Word, Excel, Power Point or other computer programs.

Pronunced: Cop-paste-ian
A copastian error occurs when formulas are copied and pasted but pull from the wrong cells within a spreadsheet. They can also occur in programs like word processing programs or presentation software when few words are copied and pasted into an existing sentence creating a grammatically incorrect structure. Occasionally when things are copied and pasted on many pages, the pasted items end up on pages where they should not be. There are many copastian errors that occur and usually can be avoided with careful proof reading and editing.
