answer in english you smarty pants :P
last time i looked this was a polish forum... but hey, i am willing to give you the satisfaction of having made me do it your way, what the hell...
i am no smartypants, just saying what i think, no offence intended. if anyone felt offended i do apologise ever so humbly...
where are the mistakes? to start with -
well is the correct spelling of the word i believe you were trying to type. and most dictionaries list
smartypants either spelt without a space or with a hyphen. but this all was but a joke, not to worry about these misspelt words. i am aware that typing something quickly we tend to make spelling mistakes, don't blame me for spotting these ones ;) it's just that you asked me specifically for exposing mistakes.... that i did.
the witches mistake is a more serious one - it's the missing "s" in the third person singular verb after "Which witch(...)" in
"Three witches watch three Swatch watches. Which witch watch which Swatch watch?"
to my knowledge the verb after third person singular takes an "s" ending (it's one of the first things children learn on English classes), so it should go like: (...)
Which witch watches(...)
it is possible that a native speaker of english created this tongue twister, but on the site referred to by RaCik there is no trace of this particular tongue twister. even if a real native speaker had come up with this one i wouldn't have said i liked it... just for the mere reason of the presence of a grammatical mistake in it. besides in this tongue twister there is no phonetic justification for not adding the mentioned "s." morover it is even harder to pronounce it correctly
with the "s" added, which is, as we all know, the purpose of tongue twisters... :)
does that exploit the topic of mistakes?
