`Took me a couple readings__________’

Didn’t see it the first time, either.
Reminds me my Scottish grandmother was a proof-reader for Norcross Greeting Cards (Lexington Ave., I believe, in Manhattan, NY) in the 1950’s to 1973.
(Norcross was similar to Hallmark - probably rivals - - -).
Guess I don’t have the gene!

She once said, in short explanation, that she caught things like a sentence ending in ‘the,’ and the next sentence beginning with ‘the.’
Wonder how she did it!
