Spelling OT

I got five. I missed one of the two "of" in line two.

That's interesting.

I found that when I was looking for the F's, that I was looking for the pattern
that the capital letter F creates. If this had been switched to upper and lower
case, a whole different skew might be taken.

I do well with looking for patterns in things. Not so well w/ rote
memorization....

Actually, a good reader predicts and fills in, and that is why you can
read it. A poor reader reads word-by-word with a great deal of effort
going into the reading, and would not be able to read it. A while ago,
a passage with the "count the instances of the letter "f" Most people
can't do it because their minds don't process the word "OF" unless it
contributes significantly to meaning.
