Am I the only one who sees "STFU" when "SOTU" is written?

[Duer 157099]

I mean the letters, the acronym. It's like my brain just does this automatic switching of the letters so that whenever I see the letters "SOTU" my brain interprets it as "STFU".

Is it just me?

nb: this is not a commentary on tonight's SOTU. I wonder if it's damage from the past 8 years?

1. I see Boneless Carwash...

2. There's that study about how your brain only "sees"

the first and last letters of a word -- have you seen that? There's a whole paragraph, and the middle letters of each word are scrambled, but you can still read it. Weird.

3. Yeah, but I also see "Viagra" when seeing some sports utility vehicles names...

... Viatra? What the fuck?

4. No, but I see 'SCROTUM' whenever someone puts up 'SCOTUS'.

Though these days it's a fine line.

12. Yup, that is what I was refering to in my post below.

SCOTUS always looks like SCROTUM to me at first too.

6. Yes... because most of us can tell the difference between the letters TF and OT

:shrug:

7. Nope ;-)

10. I see SOLD

11. I see it the same way too, at a glance.

As soon as my eyes focus on it and adjust, I see the SOTU, but before that, I see STFU too.

I don't even want to say what I see at first when I see SCOTUS.

13. Look at this ink blot:

14. And not only that, but when I see POTUS my brain reads it as POS

I'm pretty convinced this is all related to post-tramatic-Bush-syndrome

[gateley]

15. Nope. I found myself having to go back and thinking - why are they posting

STFU?

[applegrove]

16. I see it too.

[Lost-in-FL]

17. I do. nt
