See here for a "common usage" understanding.

Typically those who claim errancy in scripture have been too lazy to research.

I agree. However, I do se “errancy” when comparing versions. My biggest pet peeve is “mansions”. It’s peppered throughout our hymnals and yet the original greek simply meant “dwelling place” or “room”. It’s like interpreting a word that translates “automobile” to “limosine”. Sure, it’s the Lord’s, and therefore its gotta be pretty cool, but a translator needs to ensure the translation matches what was actually said, not what was “probably” meant.
