This paper highlights some forms and manifestations of linguistic errors in official institutions and major companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The indication of the effects of a linguistic error in changing the meaning or understanding the context; the paper also touches on the most significant causes of language weakness in companies and institutions and then the means of treating these language weaknesses. The causes of language errors are employees leaving Arabic, spoken and written, and lack of interest from entities. Whether government or not, the belief of some company owners that what is related to Arabic is a matter of formality and is not essential, the negative impact of some media underestimating the correct language, and a weak desire to master the language.
