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 ...

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. <BR/><BR/>This is of course paradoxical because there are only two errors if there is only one.karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13511491414073382506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3564064.post-1142172697035381102006-03-12T09:11:00.000-05:002006-03-12T09:11:00.000-05:00Well, then I guess "two" should be "one;" "are" sh...Well, then I guess "two" should be "one;" "are" should be "is," and "erors" should be "error."Joclynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934686258379932023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3564064.post-1142171187046939502006-03-12T08:46:00.000-05:002006-03-12T08:46:00.000-05:00Well, you got the first one right.

And, who puts a period after a title?
