Because of so many erroneous answers on his test, Joe failed it.
I think you mean "faux pas."
Your turn. Please post your sentence using "faux pas," and we'll be glad to comment on it.
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Whenever you meet a new word/expression, be sure to look it up in a good dictionary or thesaurus. When you recognize a synonym, write a sentence with the easier word first and then substitute the new word.
It might help you to know that the expression "faux pas" comes from the French and literally means "false step" so some synonyms could be: blunder, mistake, etc.
