Default Error, fault and their synonyms

Trích:
All the verbs here indicate that something is wrong or has gone wrong.
Fault is often associated with the idea of blame. You have done something wrong and you are responsible for this you are to blame for this and it is your fault.
Mistake is usually used in connection with apology. If you make a mistake because you've made the wrong decision, you accept that you have done something wrong and you apologize for it.
Error is often connected to the idea of something being incorrect. You can choose the wrong word in a sentence. You press the wrong key on the keyboard and your computer shows that this is wrong and the word error appears on the screen.
