Spot the errors... 8 in total

hi there everyone

So far 4 mistakes have been spotted... can you spot the rest?
It would be of great help.

Thank you

In the previous chapter, Tom McArthur found it neccesary to cover centuries
of linguistic history in order to provide an account of the nature of rhyme.
similarly, my own attempt to implore nonsense, rhyme and word play in young
children seems to have taken us all round the houses and down the byways of
play, representation and subversion. In the process I have suceeded in
convincing myself of the truth of Tom McArthurs claim that children are
probably ‘wired’ for rhyme and language play and are ‘relentlessly in love with
it all.
