“Errored Out” is grammatically correct ( errored is the simple past participle of error) but it’s relatively new, not very commonly used and may still be considered slang / ruder so I don’t suggest using it, if what do you use is wrong and what are your options?
What do I mean by “Encountered an error at line 20”?
Is “errored” a correct usage?
What Is a good time to be a minister?

Similarly, the Government of a republic
is the democratic formation and governed by the elect leader that administers the republic according to law, rather than by the person who is the ruler (drew by power). If an elected leader is elected then the presidency still runs. They have the power they need (rather than getting the people to vote for a gov) but the power is not the people. What does the government actually do?
RationalWiki says “the country’s official name (DPRK) is nothing
but accurate. Amusingly enough, the definition of the word “democratic” according to the Oxford English Dictionary is “a system of government by the whole population of a state,” and the definition of “republic” is “a state in which supreme power is held by the people,” meaning that North Korea’s full name means “People-ruled People’s People-ruled State of Korea. In reality, North Korea is neither a democracy nor a republic!

Asked on March 8, 2021 in Meaning.
In U.S. sense, attorney is an abbreviation for attorney at law, or public attorney. There are several types of private attorneys.
In a legal court, Attorney at Law, is the official name for a lawyer in some jurisdictions, including, Japan, Sri Lanka, or the United States.
Earlier the term used in England and Wales for lawyers who practiced at the common law courts. In English law, a private attorney was one appointed to act for another in business or legal affairs (usually for pay); an attorney
at law
or
public attorney was a qualified legal agent in the courts of Common Law who prepared the cases for a barrister who pleaded them (the equivalent of a solicitor in Chancery) In the 1870s, on account of the reputational nature of the English courts, legal law firms were known as attorneys. What was the actual term of contempt in English that it was abolished by the Judicature Act of 1873 and merged with solicitor.

The place Brichester is called by demented horror writer Ramsey Campbell, you can pronounce it whatever you want.
My first guess is Brickstur, Bristur and Brichstur, but the ch in -chester names are usually pronounced (like Chichester, Manchester, Dorchester, Chester), unlike the hard k sound in -caster names (Lancaster, Doncaster, Tadcaster) and the s sound in -cester names (Leicester, Cirencester, Bicester)”
Would someone on RPGnet pronounced: Brychester
– with the “i” pronounced “eye” like in “eyeballs turn to mush as you look at the thing from beyond reality,” So
either that or Brichestur (a bit like Bridge-chestur).
Similar to video, you can dig into an author’s transcript of the interview and see what he says. He’s an English, from Liverpool, and the place is set somewhere in Gloucestershire (which is pronounced something like Glosturhur).
