Nothing new really - been there for a long long time (saw it about 20 years ago!).
And by the way, this has nothing to do with English - it has to do with human mind - it is true with other languages too.

You don't say. For it being new and to do with English. BTW, I saw it 30 years ago.
remember the movie where the guy says- saab, 30 years ka experience hai!
This is all about our 'Perception'.
According to Psychology this is 'Gestalt' (Whole) so we see the whole picture and not the part/s of it....
but good one- cheers!

Nice! That's only a year after Graham Rawlinson's thesis was published. Amazing! Must've also been when you thought this was about English.
