Portuguese term or phrase: pontuar-se
Brazilian Portuguese. From a complaint to human resources. I would say in this context "me pontuar" means to focus on, but I would like to make sure. What are your thoughts?
Thank you

neutral  Lara Barnett: But to "correct" a mistake is not the same thing as to "point out" mistakes.//ps. English does not use "commit mistake", we say to "make a mistake".
