There are two errrors in this sentence. One is the obvious, what's the other?

the second error is that you spelled "clause" wrong. you spelled it s-e-n-t-e-n-c-e.

The word "errors" doesn't appear in the sentence. We won't know if there are two errrors until "errrors" is defined.

Obvious: 4 letter R's in error. "errrors"
Other: the fact that there's only one error?

Granted, I'm probably wrong since most of these puzzles are well beyond my current level of comprehension.
Sigh.
