Probably {lonu} since the cases are pretty clearly not in mind at this point.
{lo'i se srera} is probably better -- but I am not sure just what you meant.  My suggestion -- mirroring djordn's original -- would say that the number of errors is unsmall.  Your original says that the errors themselves are unsmall, apparently meaning that they cover wide swaths of text (an interpretation that is open to challenge depending upon what seems to be the natural fill for {cmalu2}).  The safe way to do what I think you mean is something like {le ni mi srera cu to'e cmalu}: "I screw up mightily" (you don't, by the way).  Do you really feel an obligation to try or are you merely taking that as another opportunity -- no more urgent that posting to the list, for example -- to experiment with the language?
