      A gazillion years ago my teacher at uni wrote this on the blackboard (might’ve been a whiteboard, don’t remember):

      Paris in the
      the spring

      He then proceeded to ask random people to read it out loud. This went on for several minutes, while I was in the back row listening to all these people repeating “Paris in the spring” and losing my mind thinking I was hallucinating the second “the”.

      Conclusion: not a new thing at all, humans have always been clumsy fools, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

      Edit: I just realised I messed up the formatting on the crucial part of this post. See above: clumsy fool

          Just a matter of being distracted for a second (“will pounce on… What? Uhuh? […on on on…] Yeah, cool, bye. What was I writing? Oh yeah: ‘… on you…’”. And then you proofread and miss the repeated word.

    Is a lady pouncing on your like a tigress a good or a bad thing? I guess for a dedicated family man like Mr. True both options are bad.
