Every single time s/he finds something. And I'm dumbstruck as to how it slipped by. <BR/><BR/>My eye will see YOU for instance & yet my brain will register HER. HER is what I intended. <BR/><BR/>I think that's why they say to read backwards so you actually see what's on the screen.

My brain knew what it was SUPPOSED to say, so that's what I read. Someone else had to point it out to me.
