Au contraire. Five apostophe errors in 3 sentences is a very remarkable feat.
As used, "au contraire" is a subordinate clause and should be separated from the rest of your thought by a comma, not a period.
Also, according to any respectable grammar manual (whether the Chicago Manual of Style or the Oxford Style Manual), all numbers from one to ten should appear as words, not numerals. Accordingly, your use of "3" was very bad form.
You would have earned points for knowing that you should write out as a word any numeral that begins a sentence, but since you shouldn't have started a new sentence after "au contraire", you don't get this point.
Given the foregoing, you should have written:
"Au contraire, five apostophe errors in three sentences is a very remarkable feat."
I could quibble with your mixing of the plural and the singular, but who expects perfect prose on the internet? Certainly anyone who posts here should not...
