The error is that you did not include an error?

The hole construction of this sentence is odd. It would read better as follows:

Dear Medusa, I believe the plural of 's' is 'esses'.

PS: I will not even comment on your spelling of 'believe' and the entirely made up word, 'esses'.

rlbond86 01-15-2006 01:09 PM

You should have written "whole".

Tachion 01-15-2006 02:00 PM

Again, the error is that you did not make a error.

Daniel_ 01-15-2006 02:02 PM

You forgot to include the imaginary elephant.

trickyy 01-15-2006 02:07 PM

the devil actually did not make you do it

shesus 01-15-2006 09:37 PM

The easy mistakes that I see is no capital letter at the beginning and no punctuation at the end.

Charlatan 01-18-2006 10:25 AM

You should of used the plural pronoun are rather than is.

You should have used, "...should have..." rather than, "...should of...".

Brilliant Idiot 01-19-2006 10:02 PM

Sultana, there's an error in your signature line. There shouldn't be a comma between "open your chest there" and "and see if you have a heart". However, your signature is poetry. Does that mean the punctuation error is allowable? In which case, maybe we would all do just fine if we all posted in poetic verse.

aeeiiiiiii My head is spinning from the recursiveness!

OK. I've got to stop now! I can't stand it! To post properly I'm completely not myself. I never use the word 'error' in normal life! I never say 'allowable'! I punctuate all over the place! I love using exclamation marks!

I feel like I'm at a proper English cocktail party and we all have marbles in our mouths and I can't let let my lips get wet when I drink!

Go nuts with all the mistakes, people!

*Whew* *Sigh* That feels better.

Lucifer 01-20-2006 06:17 AM

"aeeiiiiii" isn't a proper word

Tachion 01-20-2006 09:16 AM

Periods my man. That little dot makes all the difference.

Lucifer 01-21-2006 03:19 PM

Bucko isn't a word. Jeez, people!

JumpinJesus 01-22-2006 09:13 PM

Jeez isn't a word.

These posts are too simple in that an error is hidden in a very short phrase. This makes finding the error too easy and the game - if one can call it that - not as challenging or rewarding as it could be. I propose writing a bit more than just one simple sentence in order to make the search for an error a bit more challenging. Thus, making this thread a bit more interesting.

shakran 01-22-2006 10:12 PM

"Jeez" should be in quotes.

You should have, if you weren't going for a mistake, used a comma instead of a period after 'a bit more challenging".

|agree with your premise that longer writing makes a more challenging post to proof read. Perhaps working to place many errors in a post would also up the anty.| wonder if all the errors in this one will be found. Some are better hidden than oth3rs.

I'll give you a hint. There are 10 errors in this post.

feelgood 01-22-2006 10:19 PM

1. "oth3rs" is not a word.
2. | is not a word, I is the proper use of yourself.
3. When making a quote, amke sure you keep them within the same quotation makr, " is different than '. Also, you're suppose to use double quote mark when quoting others.
4. "Used" should not be used in pasted tense, "use" is the proper use.

I'm gonna stop for now since I have found enough erros in your post.

Excellent! You made a mistake in pointing out the mistake! Your fourth mistake is not a mistake. "Erros," "pasted," "amke." and "suppose" are spelling / grammatical errors.

And if we want to be partikular about it, "gonna" is not, strictly speaking; propper gramar.

barenakedladies 01-23-2006 10:50 AM

partikular is not spelled like that at all. Also, Proper is spelt with only one "p". I"m not even sure why you would a semi-colin in there.

onodrim 01-23-2006 08:31 PM

Spelt is not a word, it should be "spelled." Your period belongs in the quotation marks after "p," and you need one less apostrophie in "I'm." Plus your missing a word in your last sentence.

shakran 01-23-2006 08:57 PM

I guess the thread's over. There are no mistakes in your post, onodrim.

;)

I made sure to leave one in their, check again. And there's another here now too. :p

Somtimes, my mistakes are more subtle than others :D

It's "there," not "their."

If I type "Hukd on fonix wurkd four mi," is that a mistake or a statement of fact? ;)

mojodragon 02-03-2006 10:02 AM

Shakran, you made two mistakes. First, you mispelled the word "sometimes". Also, you forgot to place a period at the end of your 1st sentence.

JustJess 02-03-2006 11:27 AM

mojodragon: I don't know if this is actually a mistake but it could be. You capitalized "shakran" when s/he does not capitalize it However it was the first word of the sentence.

mojodragon 02-03-2006 12:35 PM

JustJess, I noticed a few mistakes in your post. You forgot the period seperating your sentences. Also, the mistake I made was mostly contextual. If you start a list with "First", then you should continue that pattern. My third sentence should have started with "Second".

captobvious 02-03-2006 08:35 PM

mojodragon misspelled separating and also misspelled "misspelled" in their previous post. The punctuation should also be inside the quotes (in American english at least).

Crack 02-09-2006 02:49 AM

Maybe try starting out your sentenses with a captial letter next time?

Goddamn grammer nazis.

ratbastid 02-09-2006 05:45 AM

Nazis actually had terrible grammar. It's one of the main things they're known for. Well, that and all the murder.

ZenFilthPig 02-16-2006 06:17 AM

Shouldn't that be "all the murders" or even "all of the murders"?

Charlatan 02-16-2006 06:51 AM

Ratbastid also had a dangling participle. It should have read, "Its one of the main things for which they are known."

ZenFilthPig should have placed a comma before his quotations and he should also have placed the question mark inside the last quote.

Kadath 02-16-2006 10:35 AM

Charlatan used "its" instead of "it's." Also, there's the incorrect capitolization of ratbastid's nickname.

Dennis 02-16-2006 04:28 PM

Capitalization is is spelled wrong. The proper spelling is capitalization.

JumpinJesus 02-17-2006 05:10 PM

Using two "is"es in a sentence can often be a subtle mistake as the speed at which we read often leads us to subconsciously remove the doubly-placed word without acknowledgeing its presence. This is a very clever ruse used in many optical illusions.

You did n't quite fool me. Apostrophe was spelled incorrectly.

Kadath 02-21-2006 06:26 PM

FailedEagle's mistake (aside from forgetting that a thread can have more than one page) was the space between d and n. As for JJ, all I can come up with is you can't pluralize a word by just sticking "es" at the end of it though it's very possible that I missed a more serious mistake in his post which is something I have a tendancy to do late at night.
