accuracy

Accuracy relates to the number of mistakes a speaker (or writer) makes, and whether they use the forms that are expected for the type of text they are producing. For example, it would be ‘inaccurate’ to use very formal language in a personal note to a friend, just as it is inaccurate to make mistakes such as *’he was falled down’. (In linguistics, an asterisk * marks an incorrect form.)
