Quote:
Fault / shortcoming / weakness / defect - all suggest a continuous state of being, whereas mistake is an instantaneous thing, thus incorrect above. In a different context, Tu mayor fallo could be your biggest mistake Your biggest mistake was marrying that woman. Perhaps I am overreading the difference.
