Their are three errers in this paragraph. Study it carefully and see
if you can find all of them.

I don't know... maybe I was wrong about the comma, and it was lack of indention.

But the fiendish cackle makes me think its some evil, sneaky something ...

third error: "all of them" ? I think it should be "them all".

I first thought that the third error was the paragraph itself; since there are only two errors; but if that were the case there would be three errors. Such a conundrum!!

I think flyboy804 is right! The third error is an error in statement-of-fact!

Deceiving!

I'm still disturbed by the fact that once we accept as the third error the fact that there are only two, we automatically have three. But once we have three, the third becomes invalid. Someone, please do something to stop this throbbing in my head!!!

All the gang. In Flyboy, I think we have found another anal-retentive nit-picker that we discussed in another thread. :wink: Laughing
