Title: Sign of old age???
Post by: Fatman on March 14, 2009, 01:24:53 PM
Alright then. Did anyone else open the "War Heroes Receive Tribute from Grateful RMEF Nation" article on the DRTV home page because they misread it as "War Heroes Receive Tribute from Grateful REMF Nation"?   ;D

I was expecting something involving France, lol

 It's not that your getting old, It's because the brain sees what it expects to see.  That's how I read it the first time I looked as well  ;D
It may have been an E Mail I got but I remember seeing an article about this that contained a sample paragraph where the spelling was all messed up, but you could just read right along because your brain straightened it out. That's why hunters have to learn the difference between "looking" and "SEEING".

Not by a long shot! I actually giggled until I reread it. Too bad because irony like that doesn't happen everyday.

Either that or we just can't spell worth a damn and have gotten used to it. Me, I'm going with your explanation. ;D

I can read it quite quickly but the problem I have is, the brain is pretty darn quick but the mouth is quicker! ::)
