Their are three misteaks in this sentence.
A sentence which on first inspection only appears to have two mistakes (
their and
misteaks). Apparently, this miscalculation is supposed to be the third mistake. Thus is the sentence vindicated. Of course, in doing so I am assuming that
three misteaks means
three mistakes even before I've corrected it. Thus is the verdict repealed. Or is it?
I came across this sentence and many more of its
self-referential brethren in a book by
Douglas Hofstadter:
Metamagical Themas (1996 Basic Books)
