The phrase, "grammar errors," is composed of two nouns, which is incorrect; "grammatical errors" is what you would needed here.
Yeah, no. English juxtaposes nouns like that - or analyzing it in a different way, uses certain words as more than one type of part of speech - all the time. "Grammar error" is a noun adjunct, while "grammatical error" is a simple noun phrase, composed of a noun and a preceeding adjective. Concerning the latter, compare "chicken soup" or "university student". "Grammar error" by all means is not a grammar error [sic].

oh, right... I forgot about that. For I long time, I never had English grammar as part of any subject so although I follow all the rules when I write and speak, I don't always know what rules I'm following. What I know mostly comes from my knowledge of grammar in other languages, so I still make a mistake like that every once in while. Nevertheless, I don't think I've ever heard the juxtaposition "grammar error," which is why I thought it was wrong (or maybe I simply didn't recognise it).

I'm actualy very good at english, is just that I have problems to express myself, thats the root of all my grammatical errors. I'm only good to express single words or sentences, but not entire explanations or ideas. When I try oraly I always went stuck, when I try to write them, I get errors.
I'm a SCANNER, not a PROJECTOR.

Or maybe because your native language is binary, you have a hard time with English.
