OT, your brain on data lookup.

When I wrote the last post, I had DewD in the subject. Upon reviewing, I changed in to DueD.

Well, obviously I knew that the name was Dew, not Due. But when I went into mental proof read mode only the English term, not his handle, would come up. I even remember clearly reviewing this in my mind, and at that point I was certain enough it was Due that I didn't check (why the hell would I even need to check?).

Obviously I have seen his handle a few thousand times, and it is clearly ingrained in my mind. The point of this is that is seams the brain (at least my brain) has some context mode that affects data access. Once in "proof read" mode, valid words would somehow mask out simmilar non words.

Can I post in binary?
