phenomenology of error

Williams' text offers the possibility that error isn't a result from isolated human error, but instead is a product of a flawed society. The only difference between these social errors and linguistic errors is that we don't feel the need to apologize for linguistic error as much as social error according to Williams. I think what Williams is really trying to get at is that linguistic errors are treated as more of a problem than they should be. He talks about common misuses resulting in dangling participles and although there is a minor problem to it, he saw no real grammatical error. Williams proposes a system where we ask ourselves questions to determine if in fact a rule is being violated and if so, how can we fix it? It is intended for those who often over-think linguistic violations so instead of jumping to a conclusion about a possible error, it can be evaluated and determined if it is in fact grammatical error.
