Yes, there are FOUR errors in the sentence.
"Their are four errrors in this sentance."

1. Their should be There.
2. Errrors should be errors.
3. Sentance should be sentence.
4. The full-stop should be placed AFTER the apostrophe ( " )

Thus, the correct sentence should be written like this........

"There are four errors in this sentence".

The four errors are:
1/their is supposed to be there
2/errrors has an extra r
3/sentance is supposed to be sentence
4/there are only three errors

Tricky!
Errors:
1."Their" is spelled wrong.
2. "Errrors" is spelled wrong.
3. "Sentance" is spelled wrong.
4. There are only 3 errors in this sentence, not four.

This is really interesting:

1. The first word should be spelled "There"

2. The fourth word should be spelled "errors"

3. The last word should be spelled "sentence"

4. The fourth error is that the sentence itself is incorrect, which then makes the whole thing sort of paradoxical--there are only three errors in spelling, but then there's one final error in that the sentence states that there are four errors when actually there are only three--but then this makes for a total of four after all--which then makes the sentence correct, so perhaps there are only a total of three errors after all--which then makes the sentence incorrect again, so suddenly we are back to four errors once more...............ad infinitum!

1) "Their" = there
2) "errrors" = errors
3) "sentance" = sentence
4) There are only three errors! (Though including that error I suppose there are four. So that is not an error? Blows the mind eh?)

"Their are four errrors in this sentance."

Their should be there.
Errrors is spelled with one too many r's.
Sentance is spelled incorrectly.
The sentence only has three errors. This is the last error.

There are 3 spelling mistakes; their, errror, sentance.

The period should go outside of the quotation mark. This is the 4th errrror. :)

Take the "error" from "errrors" and you have one error.
Their is an error.
Errrors should be error.
Sentance should be sentence.

1st 'Their' should be replaced with 'There.'
2nd errors is spelled with three r's not four.
3rd 'sentence' is spelled with two e's not an 'e' and an 'a.'
4th There are only three errors so the sentence is false. The corrected sentence should read "There are four errors in this sentence."
