Abraham Lincoln built a log cabin, like the one in which he was born.
Lincoln spelled wrong, not capitalized. Sentences are not supposed to end with a preposition. No one can build a house before he is born.

Grammar: - no problem.
(I'm with Winston Churchill on this one. When someone told him not to end a sentence with a preposition he told them that 'This is lingusitic pedantry up with which I will not put!')
Spelling: Lincoln
Meaning: Complete rubbish unles you believe in time travel.
Moral of this question: Appreciate the wood before you count the trees.

Spelling is incorrect for Abe's last name. Dangling preposition at the end of the sentence.
Conceptually, a time travel problem.
