Abstract
This chapter is about error, and is designed to be multi-purpose. First, it can be used as a checklist of the major features of the production of formal English text that we have paid attention to in the other parts of this book. Second, it can function as a revision checklist for you when you are editing your text. And third, in the light of its development from a large-scale error analysis, serve as a norm for teachers who wish to develop a comprehensive coding system for marking.
