A little game-test for you all:
Try to count how many "F" are in the text below, but count fast and suddenly.

isn't it incredible? why aren't we able to count all "F" at first attempt?
i received this test-game by mail from a friend of mine. the explanation (for creators of this test) is that human brain isn't able to elaborate the "F" in "OF". And it seems confirmed...

To do with the way language works- words like "the", "of" and "and" aren't really registered by the brain when you read them quickly- they're seen more as links... To someone reading it who isn't as familiar with the language, they're less likely to ignore them. Like I'd probably notice "et" in a passage of French text, whereas a french speaker may not.

I'm Italian, but I counted just 3 at first attempt... so I wanted to test this game with English ppl too... and it works with you too.
This test is refered to propaganda and marketing men, they use these kind of tricks for coerce our brains.

I guess the f's in of sound like v's rather then f's, so that's probably why... although my mom got 5... she only missed one f... so she got two of the of's..
