      Nothing in particular. Just yet another example of the brain's biological self-correcting algorithms.

          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 actually try to watch for those at line wraps, but
            but this one got me.

              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.

                          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.
