Oh, that's quite funny.

Hi Lasse, I found it quite easy to read and understand your posting. Only the first sentence took me a little bit more time to read but the rest was as quickly to read as any normal text.

To make it clear, I'm not the author of this little paragraph...I just somehow stumbled upon it this morning on my voyage through the depths of the web.

Yeah - indeed it's quite easy to find this text in the depth of the www.

This is a very interesting phenomenon and probably also the principle of optical illusions. You see what you expect to see. The picture is uncomplete or deficient but your mind 'knows' how it actually should look. (Or look like?)
Your mind completes the things you see according the experiences you've made in the course of your life.

As a teacher you often have problems due to this phenomenon while your are correcting exams.
On the one hand you sometimes overlook faults because your mind expects a correct answer. On the other hand you suddenly mark a correct answer as a mistake after having read a certain mistake in lots of exams because your mind has got used to this mistake and now is expacting it in all exams you are just reading.
