errored

Rfv-sense: The closest I can think of this term is in "errored player" or "errored out", which is, it seems to me, adverbial, and rare. - Amgine/^talk 18:34, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

So common in telecommunications that I didn't bother with citations, but I'm sure I can find them, especially in technical manuals. I've put some examples of usage under error as a verb. These are not adjectival, but you might like to check to see whether they are convincing. Would you prefer citations? I see some usage as adjectival, especially "errored seconds", "errored blocks" etc., but I'm not an expert in parts of speech. Dbfirs 19:18, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

b.g.c. gives a lot of hits for "errored bits", "errored second(s)", "errored block(s)", "errored frame(s)", "errorer cell(s)", etc. in the context of digital telecommunications. The evidence I can find is supportive that this is a true adjective. It is graded (<10 times) (very, too, highly), though not often. It does appear as a predicate. OTOH, it very rarely forms a comparative (less, more). DCDuring TALK 19:46, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

I've provided three citations from different fields. According to b.g.c. the first cited book also contains "most errored" (proving the adjectival use?), but it won't give me the quote so I can't check. There is also "the least-errored neural network topological structure and the optimum rheology parameters were obtained using a genetic algorithm" which I will add to the citations.

(later) Apologies for prematurely removing the tag. Didn't intend to shortcut due process. Dbfirs 22:36, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

I work in IT industry and we use the word errored out at many places " The file has errored out" "The coding has errored"
