Did you you notice the second "you" in the title of this post? How do you feel about (not) noticing it?

I felt efficient.

Language parsing engine working as intended.

Exactly, this is what our brains are supposed to do.

At uni, a teacher of mine once wrote on the blackboard:
Paris in the the spring
and then had a bunch of people read it out loud. I didn't get to read it out but the entire time this was going on I was sitting there, questioning my sanity because none of the people chosen to read seemed to notice the second "the".
That said, I've had a few glasses so fuck you.

I love this. Between the people who didn't notice it the same way I absolutely would not have, and the people who just say what obviously was intended, this could go forever and drive a couple of people absolutely insane.

I feel like a well oiled reading machine.

I did not until pointed out.
I did see the Invisible Gorilla when the teacher showed us right away somehow. That is to say, I'm long familiar with this detail of how our brains work :)

I actually try to watch for those at line wraps, but
but this one got me.

I can’t believe you’ve done this.

Ha! Completely missed it.

My sources indicate that, as a natural intelligence, I can recommend feeling awesome.

No, and it happens all the time for me. I sometimes hallucinate words inside the text and change the meaning completely.
-
Missed it.

It's additionally funny because the title on the webpage doesn't pick up the 2nd "the".

I got tripped up around "the second" and had to backtrack so either I subconciously read ahead or I noticed the fault. Either way, heck you buddy.
-
Fine, actually. As non native english speaker is a win win to me.
-
I don't really read so much as skim, skipping the filler words. So, what I read is "Did you notice second title post?"
I'm don't recommend reading this way because I miss important details frequently.

Stupid clickbait like this pisses me off so much I'm blocking you
