    I feel like a well oiled reading machine.

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

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

      Exactly, this is what our brains are supposed to do.

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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.

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

      It’s additionally funny because the title on the webpage doesn’t pick up the 2nd “the”.
