Com que ficaria blunder em uma frase para se referir a um erro grosseiro?

ex: it's been a long time that he studies english, ele nao deveria estar cometendo esses erros grosseiros.

usaria blunder neste caso? com seria ,,, make a blunder?

Thanks!

Hi,

I think that blunder is the better colocation.

Enjoy

How about the idiomatic expression
"to put your foot in it"
e.g.
He really put his foot init when he told his boss that he was really fat
