error, err or

Error or error ( one word ) means a mistake, or a mistaken belief--
You'll lose ten points for each error, so answer carefully.
Don't get his name wrong; he counts it an unpardonable error.
He answered in error, and lost the game.

Err or or err or ( two words ) means to make a mistake, to be mistaken or incorrect ( err ), offered as an alternative ( or )--
Did I err, or is this correct?
How will we know whether we err or take the right road?

Now that you know that, you can say--
"It will be counted as an error if you err or leave a space blank."
