OMG... this reminds me of some page I found with StumbleUpon some days ago. The reason why no Downer noticed that is because our brains don't work that way... to notice such a typo I mean.

I remember on that page I saw you had a sentence where you should count the word "of". I was pretty sure of myself and started counting ending up with 3. Actually, there were 6.

So yeah, what we see and what we read often isn't the same thing.
