Duhduh Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Do you mean just the 'F's or every letter that has an 'F' within it, like 'E'? "Meat is the only thing you need beside beer! Big hunks of meat and BEER!!...Lots of freakin' BEER." "Hey, I'm not Jesus Christ, I can't turn water into wine. The best I can do is turn beer into urine."

whitefang Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 When I was a kid, my buddy's Dad used to pull this trick on us... He'd ask us to spell a string of words. The words were...love...shove...above...dove...and then...OF. Most would catch themselves starting to spell it "o-v-e". Smart-ass! Whitefang.

kylen Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 used the old typesetters' trick of reading backwards. Typesetters are cool ! I used to clean up the hardened lead that spilled over onto the floor as well as the 'mistakes' when I was a kid. Sometimes I could put the mistakes back into the molten stew of potential words and ideas and watch them melt into new possibilities... Hehe don't let someone's mistake hit you in the head - it can hurt ! I forgot all about those guys God bless 'em... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videoeditor1 Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Since the topic says "test you ability" I imported the sentence into a word processing program, and instructed the program to count the occurences of "F". _inished _or now. That was a lot o_ _un. NYC Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedster Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Originally posted by Meriphew: Correct number of F's is 6. For some reason some people have a hard time spotting the F in of.Count me as a hard-time-spotting-f-in-of type. I think it comes from a tendency to skim over the printed phrase. One sets one's mind to that, and it fails to recognize anything else. "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
