The correct usage would be to talk about an error "in" a sentence, not "on" a sentence.

Muphry's law get you every time!

Surely you didn't mean too but the correct tense of "get" on you're sentence would be "gets"

More accurately, Skitt's Law (which is mentioned in that Wikipedia article).

In this case the misspelling is actually the correct one. HN has shortened the link in GPs post but if you follow it you'll see it spelled "Muphry's law", and it is a separate one from the general one that everyone knows about.

That said it wouldn't surprise me at all if I've misspelled something here : )
