I suppose different people use the word “inerrancy” different ways. In this thread, it has been used as a synonym for perfection. I believe it has also been pointed out that literalism (sometimes called biblicism) really has more to do with the interpretation of Scripture than with the inerrancy of Scripture. However, these two things do seem to go hand in hand for many people.

In their book ENCOUNTERING GOD, Andrew Purves and Charles Partee write, “Inerrancy means that the biblical text contains the direct and perfect word of God” (p. 127).
