How Many F's in this Sentence ......

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.


Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Important, count them ONLY ONCE: do not go back and count them again...How many "F"s?

Write your first answer only!

Listening to the news in the car with a colleague.

It was at the time of "mad cow disease"

The French government accused the English of Xenophobia.

"Xenophobia" I said. "That's a great word!" I wonder how many "Fs" there are in that?"

"There's no F in Xenophobia" came the immediate reply, "But there is F**in' Foreigners !"

Well, the answer is 6. Congratulations to the Smarties LOL.

Apparently people often forget the OF's. The brain tends to see them as V's and not F's.
