I don't understand...I think I do, but I'm not sure. An explanation is needed, that's how stupid I am.

I think it's something about the brain not recognising "of" for some reason.

Is it because of the difference in sound? efff and ovvv? (No not eff ovv!)

The brain looks for efff, and misses ovv, if it happens too quickly or something?

However, if like me, you examined each letter, its impossible to miss all the Fs!

Is very impressive that though. One of those things you don't notice until you know what you're looking for

"That man has a a big head"

Two a's. You'll spot it easily if you're in the right 'frame of mind' (very likely after reading this thread), but normally you'd miss it quite a bit.
