Usage Note

Imprecisione means a lack of precision — an error, a vague statement, or a technical inaccuracy. The plural imprecisioni is common: le imprecisioni del testo ('the inaccuracies in the text'). The adjective is impreciso ('imprecise, vague'). Do not confuse with errore ('mistake'), which implies a clearer fault; imprecisione suggests fuzziness more than outright error.

Examples

"Il rapporto contiene diverse imprecisioni."
