誤記

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 誤記 is read as ごき and is a noun and する verb for writing or entering a character, name, date, or other item incorrectly.
• Basic usage: A misentry in a report date appears in 日付に誤記がある, while avoiding writing a name incorrectly appears in 名前を誤記しない.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• An error in recording information
  • It denotes a mistake made while writing or entering an item rather than an error in the overall judgment or content.
• Difference from 誤字
  • Unlike the word focused on a wrong character or spelling error, this term also covers incorrect entries of names, dates, figures, and similar data.
