Mike,
Thanks for for your clarification. Errant (in the sense of erring) comes from the Latin "errare", to err. Errant (in the sense of on a mission) comes from Old French (travelling). English has plenty of words which are spelt the same but have different meanings, e.g. cleave.

Not to hijack this thread, but Python's indentation-as-syntax eliminates problems like this. I know this doesn't solve the problem at hand, just pointing out how another language handles this situation.
