1) Williams main point about errors is that they are everywhere. In order to make his point, Williams talked about grammarians. The people who make these rules on grammar weren't able to describe the rules of grammar without making errors of their own.
2) The game that Williams speaks of is about the errors that are in the paper. Towards the end he says that there are about 100 grammatical errors in the paper. The game is whether or not the reader was able to find these errors while reading.
3) Williams showed grammarians violating their own rules to prove that everyone makes mistakes. He shows that even the best can't do it right.
4) Williams locates errors in both the reader and the writer. If the reader does not know of the errors, then there is no error committed. Likewise, the writer should be able to post a grammatically correct paper without making the reader search for hidden errors.
