Reply to comment by driu76 in [WP] A new teacher at the school sees ghostly messages written on the blackboard, but they're always warm and friendly. One afternoon however they see the messages with a messy script saying: "Run, beware, hide!" by Shadrak_Meduson

>err

I've never seen that word before. Are you sure it wasn't "ear" ?

Nope! It's "err" - it's a word that has fallen mostly out of use, originating in Latin and coming to English from Old French. It's similar to "error" (not just in spelling) meaning "to be mistaken, incorrect" or "fail to adhere to the proper or accepted standards; do wrong"

I'm not an English teacher, but I used to read the dictionary for fun like a nerd
