Cougar Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Their are three erorrs in this sentence. Can you find them?Don't answer if you already know this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notpete Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Their should Thereerorrs should be errorsWhich is two errors; hence the statement itself is an error - there are only two errors in the sentence - this is the third error.Um .. so now there are three errors is the sentence, and so the sentence is correct. So my third assumption is now incorrect .. uhoh. See brain melting down soon. Best stop while I'm behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKen132 Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 No, Notpete, that's probably it... BION, that's what I was thinking, and I've never heard it either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkT Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Taking a slightly different approach:The third error is that the word 'three' should actually be 'two' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av_nefardec Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Yes because they are IN the sentence that'd be correct, even though it makes the sentence as a whole incorrect, because by changing it to two, you've created a problem because there was originally three.

Cougar Posted January 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Wow, you guys are quick. The first error was that the word "three" should have been "two", so the sentence should have been:Their are two erorrs in this sentence.And then the two remaining errors are the obvious spelling errors.Good job guys.
