Post by: RedwoodsMama on June 10, 2011, 02:25:24 PM: It is kind of funny, because if you are Dysllexic, you may have a hard time "tying " things up as well, so you can take that title anyway you would like.....depends on how "dysfunctional" you may be or not...or how you read things... ;)

the sentence, you are now aware that the
the human brain often
does not inform you that the
the word "the" has been repeated twice every time.

Post by: aibo7m3 on June 12, 2011, 07:14:22 AM: Wow, that's cool IMR, I didn't notice that until I'd read it a second time!

Post by: allosaurus on June 12, 2011, 01:10:53 PM: Aaahh, IMR, I've seen that trick several times!

Ahehe, This will probably be a relatively temporary avatar, as far as avatars go :P
This current avatar is fanart of the most amazing book series I've ever read, trumping far over what was previously my favorite series. The series I'm talking about is "The Temeraire Series"-- here's the website if you want some info on it: http://www.temeraire.org/
Truly amazing fictional history; I highly recommend it.

Post by: latrine on June 12, 2011, 02:50:43 PM: That was neat, I had trouble reading it because of the repeated 'the' my eyes kept going back to re-read and make sure it said 'the' more than once.. so we aren't supposed to notice the extra 'the' or we are?

Post by: Talon on June 12, 2011, 03:20:35 PM: The "The" trick didn't work on me because the scentence was broken into several lines. I saw it and was wondering why it looked so wierd. Anyway, Allo I've been reading the Temararre series as well. Sorry about butchering the name. My modality is audio but anyway the idea is very original- using dragons as gigantic over-the-top fighting beasts in the Napoleonic wars. I've only read the first two books, though. How many are there?

Six books! I'm on the fifth book-- I really, really, hope Novik writes some more soon!

I have to re-read it a few times to verify it doesn't say UNITE ;)

Post by: Talon on June 15, 2011, 08:48:05 PM: If I were reading this directly, it would probably do that to me too! I flip entire words around if I'm not paying attention especially if they're small. God becomes dog and stop becomes post etc. You're not alone, Bobs! My brain does it with numbers too. It's always been a stumbling block for me, though the results are sometimes funny.

Post by: bhobbes on June 15, 2011, 09:31:33 PM: Numbers are horrible. I have to write it down in such a way to make it work in my mind - hard to explain but it makes sense to me. Haha.
