After the "first inequality" error, you say "as the third is very similar" - since "the third" is not specified as what type of thing it is(equality, inequality), it takes on the condition of being an inequality(as that was used earlier in the sentence with a order value(first)), and therefore is a separate error, deserving of a third bonus point, right?
Thanks for pointing out the error. Since it is a group of related errors, it counts as a single error for the purposes of bonus point calculations (see the rules and regulations on the bonus point page).
