Please read this sentence and count the F's

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.









After reading this most people only see three. But there are actually six in this sentence. Weird, huh?

I can only imagine what the other three F's represent. They're in my mind someplace. I'll have to search for them. Most definitely...weird stuff all around.

You're absolutely correct though after re-reading. Six it is! No need to search my scrambled brain after all.

Yup! Weird stuff!

Damn prepositions! I hates um!

QM and the others who love anagrams will probably get it on the 1st shot.

So....Ms.LisaPisa....was this a test to see if anyone bothers to read anything and pay attention to the details while doing so????

I'm confused.

There is one F in the first sentence, and that's the one you're asking us to count.

Then you write a sentence about some scientific nonsense.

Then you claim there are six Fs in the last sentence, when again there is plainly only one.

What's it all about...............

Read this sentence and count the F's:

"Fuck it!"

Even I got that one right

Yeah, why not! Works for me!

Well done to those who got them all first time and to those being clever pedants too!


I would like now to talk a little about yawning. Yawning is a funny thing, isn't it?
Whenever you see somebody yawning you inevitably feel the need to yawn too. It could even be the sight of a dog yawing that creates this impulse to yawn.

Some say that yawning is related to a time our ancient ancestors emerged from the sea, and that the yawn is some form of gulping of air. But nobody really understand where yawning or feeling the need to yawn comes from.

With all this talk about yawning and yawns you probably have felt like yawning, haven't you? I know that I am yawning right this second as I type the words 'yawn' and 'yawning'. Are you yawning? Am I boring you?

If you write 'yawn' 20 times, which I'm not going to do by the way, have you ever noticed that it looks wrong?

So does the word 'wrong', if you write it 20 times.

Mind you, the same probably goes for any word.

Even 'any'................
