red mark
Teacher's ink notation
A red mark is a visible blemish or notation in red, typically on skin or paper.
On skin, it might be from a slap, scratch, or irritation: The slap left a red mark on her cheek.
On schoolwork, red marks traditionally indicate errors or corrections from a teacher's pen.
The phrase sometimes appears in video games for targeting indicators.
