Well, you got the first one right. "erors" is misspelled. Caps on titles after the first word is a matter of taste though (and in many contexts undesireable). And, who puts a period after a title? So we are still one error short.
Actually Joclyn sort of got it right the second time. This is a variation on a famous paradox. The first error is the typo in the word "error". The second error is that there is only one error and the title says that there are two.
This is of course paradoxical because there are only two errors if there is only one.
Okay ... I know you won't believe me, but I really, really, really was thinking that, that the second error was the fact that there was only one error, but is was incorrectly stated that there were two ... I swear. Why didn't I write it??? [you do believe me, *don't you?*]
Obviously I could offer any shreds of evidence ... but I appreciate you taking me at my word. That's happened to yopu before, right? Like where you thought you knew something [like the answer on Jeopardy] but didn't speak up 'cause you thought you were wrong, but ... La-di-da.

"erors" should be "errors."
There should be punctuation after "post."
A title requires initial caps on all words that are not prepositions, articles, or conjugations of the verb "to be."
That makes three errors, actually.
The title should read "There are Two Errors in the Title of this Post."

Well, then I guess "two" should be "one;" "are" should be "is," and "erors" should be "error."

I believe you.
The paradox comes from a book I read I read about 12 or 13 years ago.

Uh ... what I meant so say was "Obviously I COULDN'T offer any shreds of evidence ..."
