    ## Statement: Find the error in this scentance. Yes, there is an error here.

    ##Statement: You know, yesterday I was talking to my online friend and we were having a discussion about whether or not a dollar was better than a nickel, and my retort was that nickels are better because they would be able to be used in a parking mateter for which a car could be parked in that place for a long while, and my friend told me that he would give me a dollar and a nickel in return to which I could only reply "why would I need a dollar AND a nickel," because that would be pointless, because I was trying to get rid of the nickle in the first place but he went on and troed to convince me that I wanted both, and this took up quite a bit of time before I finally told him "you know what I was smurfing around with you," and then we both logged off AIM, at which point i called a friend of mine, and it's a "she", by the way, so it's all good, I think; however, her cell didn't puck up even though I was thinking to my self "I'm good and rocking steady, okay and now I think I'm ready to bust a move so that we're good and ready, ohh, hoh, ohh, ohh," so I went away dejected and played some games until midnight and went to sleep, and started singing Calling All Cops as I did.

    I'm not going to get all of those errors, but here are a few for you.
    ## Correction: You know, yesterday I was talking to my online friend and we were having a discussion about whether or not a dollar was better than a nickel, and my retort was that nickels are better because they would be able to be used in a parking meter for which a car could be parked in that place for a long while, and my friend told me that he would give me a dollar and a nickel in return to which I could only reply "why would I need a dollar AND a nickel," because that would be pointless, because I was trying to get rid of the nickel in the first place but he went on and tried to convince me that I wanted both, and this took up quite a bit of time before I finally told him "you know what I was smurfing around with you," and then we both logged off AIM, at which point I called a friend of mine, and it's a "she," by the way, so it's all good, I think; however, her cell didn't puck up even though I was thinking to my self "I'm good and rocking steady, okay and now I think I'm ready to bust a move so that we're good and ready, ohh, hoh, ohh, ohh," so I went away dejected and played some games until midnight and went to sleep, and started singing Calling All Cops as I did?

    ##Correction of previous: There shouldn't be a question mark at the end. You also missed the misspelling of "pick."

    You know, yesterday I was talking to my online friend and we were having a discussion about whether or not a dollar was better than a nickel, and my retort was that nickels are better because they would be able to be used in a parking meter for which a car could be parked in that place for a long while, and my friend told me that he would give me a dollar and a nickel in return to which I could only reply "why would I need a dollar AND a nickel," because that would be pointless, because I was trying to get rid of the nickel in the first place but he went on and tried to convince me that I wanted both, and this took up quite a bit of time before I finally told him "you know what I was smurfing around with you," and then we both logged off AIM, at which point I called a friend of mine, and it's a "she," by the way, so it's all good, I think; however, her cell didn't pick up even though I was thinking to my self "I'm good and rocking steady, okay and now I think I'm ready to bust a move so that we're good and ready, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh," so I went away dejected and played some games until midnight and went to sleep, and started singing Calling All Cops as I did.
    Correction of a correction: 20 points. You owe me 94 in all now, Demon Dude. (164 total)

    Find the error in this sentence. Yes, there is an error here.
    Now find the other one.
    ##Correction: That wasn't a statement, it was a command.

    You have also ended your bold code before the colon.

    ##Statement: I'm far too tired to try and find all the errors in previous statements. Perhaps I'll do some tommorrow. In the meantime, enjoy yourselves.

    ##Correction: It doesn't matter as with the imperative case in English (commands), the subject is always understood as "you." Therefore, the sentence is perfectly fine as is. There is a subject (implied as "you," the second person) and a verb (to find).

    Additionally, it could be that the statement is two sentences; therefore, it could also read as such:

    [You], find the error in this sentence, and yes, there is an error here.
