Insufficient knowledge of English semantic system causes Indonesian just accept the English words they got from media especially from their favourite Indonesian celebrities, without thinking the meanings might be wrong. In order to figure out the problem, this research aims to examine the semantics errors used by Indonesian celebrities on social media, TV show, and online news, how they can be categorized into errors classifications based on Shormani and Al-Sobani’s (2012) theory that basically followed the error taxonomy from James (1998).

The semantic errors that classified in this study are formal misselection, formal misformation, lexical choice, collocation, and lexicogrammatical choice.  The researcher uses qualitative descriptive method in doing the research. There are two kinds of data used in this research, written and oral data from Indonesian celebrities’ social media, TV show, online news, including videos on YouTube.</p><p class="NoList1"><strong>Key word:</strong> Semantics errors, classification, meanings, Indonesian celebrities</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong><em>ABSTRAK</em></strong></p><p><em>Meneliti dan mempelajari kesalahan pada makna, adalah hal yang menantang.

The semantic errors identified were 346. These errors were classified into four categories namely, formal misformation (46.7%), distortion due to spelling (32.4%), lexical choice (40.6%) and lexicogrammatical choice (2.4%). The results show that direct translation from the first language (L1), assumed synonym and misselection of letters sub-categories score the highest number of the errors, i.e.14.2%, 13.08% and 12.08% respectively. While the sub-category, both collocations incorrect error was the lowest (0.52%). The other errors take the form of paraphrase (11.5%) and Idiomacity (8.5%).
