    One funny quirky part of English is that many people (primarily phonetic sight readers) literally won’t notice if you substitute “ov” for “of” in the middle of a sentence. Sort of like how you can add the word “and” on both ends of a line break, and people won’t notice until you point it out. Their brain just sort of passively filters out the second “and”.

    And I bet a significant portion of people reading this comment went back to see if I intentionally added either of those to my comment.
