| Did you know that the the human mind doesn't register a second 'the'? Did it work? Did you check?(; This is in the Entertainment section because it entertains me to watch other people be mind-boggled. |

| Oh, yeah, I knew this, but I still didn't notice the doubled "the". Interesting, hmn?
I wonder if it's just native English speakers who don't notice it, or also people who speak other languages as a first language... |

| Lol I speak two languages and I didn't notice it the first time. I had done something like this on the TPBM game but they noticed it. Unless you're expecting it or you're really observant you won't see it. |

| I didn't really notice it either until you pointed it out. My eyes probably ignored the the second "the" or something. Apparently, we don't read the entire words either, as long as it isn't a long and unfamiliar one. |
