Forget about a "list of explanations of error message[s]". There is no 
such list, and there never will be, because there is no limit to the 
number and kind of possible error messages.

Instead, you should actually read the error message you see. Python is 
telling you what the problem is. Pay attention to it.

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'lower'

This tells you that you tried to access something.lower, but "something" 
is a list, and lists don't have an attribute or method "lower".

Normally, Python will show you the line of source code with the error, so 
you will even see the name of the variable.
