I don't think I'm being thick, but, do you mind telling me why that's funny, because I'm struggling to work it out...

Sorry.

Have=Has Error=Errors
And that makes only 2 errors, not 3..
And that is a error, so that makes 3 errors.. ;D

Got it now? ;)

So there are five errors.

Have should be has, error should be errors, "3" should be written "three" (see note), three should be a four (not counting itself as an error if it read "four") and there is no period.

NOTE: You are not supposed to use numerals when the value is below nine.

I didn't know that there was an actual rule for that, I just thought that we should nit-pick and count "3" as an error. I was going to say that there were four errors: Have= has, error= errors, 3= three, and no period. I wasn't considering factual errors, just grammatical.  ;)
