Just wanted to add, while you are correct - it is still perfectly acceptable to use "grammatical error" since the very definition of "grammatical" means "relating to grammar". It's just one of those things that has grown more acceptable by today's definitions.Hey, Gaunt,
I hope this finds you well.
According to several English linguists (way too many to reference here, but I may cite J.T.Baker as one of them), in "Correct English" the expression “Grammatical Error” is paradoxical, for the reason that a form cannot be Grammatical and Erroneous at the same time.
You see: a Grammatical Form implies that it already is in accordance with the [productive or not] rules of the grammar of a language; hence a form such as “error in construction” or “error in English” should be used instead.
I hope this elucidates the problem a bit.
cheers, mate!
