If you make three mistakes in a word, how many errors will you report?

When reporting errors in a word where multiple mistakes occur, the convention is to report it as a single error, particularly when they pertain to the same word. This practice emphasizes the overall accuracy of the word rather than counting each individual mistake separately, which could lead to an inflated perception of performance.

This approach helps to maintain clarity in assessments, as the focus is on whether the word was ultimately readable and identifiable, rather than how many specific mistakes were made within it. Thus, regardless of how many errors are present within a singular word, it is counted as one overall error for reporting purposes.
