Any post made to point out a spelling or grammar error will invariably contain a spelling or grammar error.

I just ran across a very humourous example of this in a thread lamenting the state of spelling on internet message boards (bad).
These three posts were in succession with the latter ones quoting their predecessors.

He spells so bad…
