Dear Willard,

You may be interested to read Seth Lerer, /Error and the Academic Self:
The Scholarly Imagination, Medieval to Modern/ (Columbia UP, 2002), a
book "about the relationships of accuracy to life: relationships between
the aims of scholarship and the experiences of the scholar, between the
poetics of error and the politics of institutional belonging." (14)

Yrs
David

Although it is not perhaps precisely what you had in mind, I can't resist
suggesting:

The Phenomenology of Error. 
Author(s): Joseph M. Williams 
Source: College Composition and Communication, Vol. 32, No. 2, 
Language Studies and Composing (May, 1981), pp. 152-168

In this classic article, Williams examines the nature of error in grammar
and usage and readers' responses to them.

Enjoy,
David
