The 4 Types of Sanskrit errants

[संस्कृत संवादः]

There are mainly 4 types of errants in Sanskrit :-

तुतुरामः – One who consistently employs the प्रथम पुरुषः (third person) form, even when addressing others directly, such as गच्छतु पठतु. Only use third person with derivatives of भवत्. Otherwise simply use the second person forms like गच्छ or पठ. Alternatively, passive forms like गम्यताम् or पठ्यताम् may be used.

वावाकारी – One who erroneously uses वा to ask questions, as in त्वं पठसि वा. Interrogative forms should use words like किम्, कच्चित्, or अपि instead of वा.

समासशत्रुः – One who fails to correctly compound words or use appropriate vibhakti forms, as seen in नरेन्द्र मोदिना उक्तम्. Correct usage would be either नरेन्द्रेण मोदिना or नरेन्द्रमोदिना.

म्लेच्छाचारी – One who interjects words from other languages into Sanskrit sentences, as in सः साइकिलेन याति or सरकारः मुआवजां ददाति. One should exclusively use Sanskrit words or derive new terms using Paninian grammar principles.
