Nice!

Hears a paragraph that has easily past spell check, but its full of incorrect word usage. Sea how many errors you can find. There in each line and sentence. Your the judge; it we'll be you're keen I skills that will catch the errors. Sorry, know prize four the person who finds the most. Clarion's editor red over this and rote "Their is some excellent righting! Eye just knead too fix it's font. Its knot blew enough four hour add.

I'll bite...

Here's a paragraph that has easily passed spell check, but it's full of incorrect word usage. See how many errors you can find. They are in each line and sentence. You're the judge; it will be your keen eye skills that will catch the errors. Sorry, no prize for the person who finds the most. Clarions editor read over this and wrote "There is some excellent writing! I just need to to fix its font. It's not blue enough for our ad.

^^ agreed Worldind.

Typo on the missing apostrophe in Clarion's - my bad.

The missing end quote was absent in the original post... and since the OP was incorrect word usage, not punctuation, I left it as it was.

Nice, there were 25 in all.

My bad that I forgot to insert the end quote. You are correct that I was just aiming at word usage not punctuation.

You also changed the "too" to "to to" which I'm guessing was a mistake and you meant to type one "to."

This was my favourite sentence: "Its knot blew enough four hour add." The only correct word was enough.

Yep... I got trigger happy and mistakenly typed two "to's" to replace the too. Trying too hard to type too quickly.

That was fun! I didn't realize we had so many cunning linguists here...

25, that's my count. I tried to set the errors in bold, but they don't show up well in a quote...
