Is everyone ignoring the misspelled words in the title?

The brain is lazy and efficient. It doesn't process each individual thing it sees. Basically, it looks at a chunk and goes "hey, this looks familiar, let me go grab the results from the last time I saw this instead of re-processing it again." The "the"s are so close together that the brain basically goes "already handled that, no need to think about it again" and moves on. It's similar to how the brain is able to read words that are misspelled so long as all the letters are there and the first and last letter are correct.
