How Rong Am I?
There are five 'f's in the next sentance, and they're two errors in this one. - "It's often easy for folk to miss the finer points of life." - How many errors are there in the first sentence? |

Four errors in the first sentence:
There are 6 'f's in the second sentence, not 5.
"sentance" is incorrect spelling.
"they're" should be "there are".
And there are four errors in the first sentence, not two as stated.

I agree with Wiz except that "they're" should be "the're".
.. except I can't find "the're" on the the Internet ;(
Hi Wiz. Have you finished your 40 days in the wilderness?
Hi Chris, Yep, not quite like in the bible but still glad to back in civilization. The filming got done which was the main thing.
Their are 4 errors as their is only 1 f in the sentence "the first sentence" and it is mentioned that 5fs are in the sentece
Nope, no right answers yet....
Oh, alright, Wizard of Oz scores on all points, Chris needs a lessun in spelin ;-), with Mahmoud coming up with an interesting slant on the First Sentence statement!

I agree; there seems to be no lazy version of "there are".
Mahmoud's first "their" should've been a "there".
There are only 3 errors in the first sentence.
There are 6 "F's"
Sentance should be sentence
and They're is just there are

or, you could count the 3 errors as...
Sentance should be sentence
They're should be there are
and the sentence is false.
If it were changed to the correct "6 "F's" then the sentence would be true, eliminating that error.
1 error, if you count the title as a sentence. rong is spelt wrong
You could use the contraction "we've" (for "we have") in place of "there are". It changes the meaning of the sentence slightly ...
Two errors in "this one": "sentence" misspelled, and "they're" in incorrect context.
Sorry, I count only five "f"s in the "next sentence"...
One error in "first sentence", "How Rong Am I?": "wrong" misspelled.
Thanks,
jm
Jurgen, there are 6 'f' s in the sentence, "It's o(f)ten easy (f)or (f)olk to miss the (f)iner points o(f) li(f)e."
1 wrong answer in the fist sentence..."rong"
Thanks, Chris:
I had missed out on "of"! Oh boy... ;-)
In that case, the sentence has four errors:
1. the misspelling of sentence.
2. misuse of "they're".
3. listing five (instead of six) "f"s.
4. stating that sentence had "two errors".
Cheers,

Nowhere does the question refer to the "first" sentence - so the title is not part of the problem.
I think Wiz got it right with the first post.
IMHO there're could be used as an abbreviation for there are.
I think Wiz got it right with the first post too.
just one "error"
There is one error: the first sentence is "How rong am I?" Rong shold be spelled wrong.
there is only one word 'error' in the 1st sentence....that's the error
One
only one
I love this back and fourth conversation.
Where's the error here?
