reddit: the human brain, when reading, doesn't actually see every word, unless you're not fluent in a particular language. Your eyes actually take in multiple words at a time and parse the sentence based on the words you've taken in. This also means that unless a particular particle is deadly important to the sentence, your brain ignores it. It also partially explains why you sometimes go back over a sentence if it doesn't parse correctly. An extra "the" doesn't change the meaning of a sentence, so you continue as if you understood.
Child, these heffas don't care nothin bout dat, hunny. Quiet as it's kept, half of them don't even know how to type they own language CORRECTLY. (*FunkyDineva voice*)
I was like, 'what the the hell is he talking about? what second 'the'?
