RE: Why Is It So Easy to Write 'The The' and Not Notice?
I decided to go back and give my last post one little extra proof read a couple of hours after I'd posted it, I about passed out. There were so many typos scattered through out. I edited (hopefully all of) them out repeating to myself over and over "I hope no one read this yet".
Typos are assholes.
"Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteers be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe."
They might be assholes, but they still get the point across.
Wow, I read that whole thing in one fell-swoop. I thought I was really smart, until I got to your last line. Now I'm just back to normal. Sigh.
