Brain Shortcuts
This video here shows major shortcuts our brain takes when putting letters into words. In this illusion you have to read the statement "The first half of February is often the fastest freezing and most frigid time of the year" and then you have 10 second to count how many letter f's there are. Study shows that people mention that there are 7 or 8 letter f's when in reality there is 9 letter f's. People miss all the letters f's because the when you say the word "of" the f sounds like a "v".
