+Attempted to access a method like a field.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0615
+struct Foo {
+    x: u32,
+}
+
+impl Foo {
+    fn method(&self) {}
+}
+
+let f = Foo { x: 0 };
+f.method; // error: attempted to take value of method `method` on type `Foo`
+```
+
+If you want to use a method, add `()` after it:
+
+```ignore
+f.method();
+```
+
+However, if you wanted to access a field of a struct check that the field name
+is spelled correctly. Example:
+
+```ignore
+println!("{}", f.x);
+```
+"##,

 E0617: r##"
 Attempted to pass an invalid type of variable into a variadic function.
