      At uni, a teacher of mine once wrote on the blackboard:

      Paris in the
      the spring
      

      and then had a bunch of people read it out loud. I didn't get to read it out but the entire time this was going on I was sitting there, questioning my sanity because none of the people chosen to read seemed to notice the second "the".

      That said, I've had a few glasses so fuck you.

      I love this. Between the people who didn't notice it the same way I absolutely would not have, and the people who just say what obviously was intended, this could go forever and drive a couple of people absolutely insane.

              My sources indicate that, as a natural intelligence, I can recommend feeling awesome.

                Fine, actually. As non native english speaker is a win win to me.

                  I did not until pointed out.

                  I did see the Invisible Gorilla when the teacher showed us right away somehow. That is to say, I'm long familiar with this detail of how our brains work 🙂

                        It's additionally funny because the title on the webpage doesn't pick up the 2nd "the".

                          I don't really read so much as skim, skipping the filler words. So, what I read is "Did you notice second title post?"

                          I'm don't recommend reading this way because I miss important details frequently.

                              No, and it happens all the time for me. I sometimes hallucinate words inside the text and change the meaning completely.

                                I got tripped up around "the second" and had to backtrack so either I subconciously read ahead or I noticed the fault. Either way, heck you buddy.
