I am wondering if results from this community would be different.

No, I read right past it.

I kind of feel hurt that you'd try to trip me up like that.

I did not notice it but I think that's because, as others observed, ignoring errors is just part of social media these days. Of course, that probably makes it easier to make errors, as well.

I've mentioned this on Lemmy before, but when I was a kid we had an afternoon tradition of going through a series of books that would offer puzzles, mindbenders, that kind of thing. One of these that I fairly distinctly remember was reading a paragraph then determining what error had occurred within it. The error was that the word "the" was repeated, but it was hard to notice because it happened over a line break. After the book declared it nearly impossible to notice, I tried to train myself to look for duplicate words over line breaks so as to not get tricked again ... But, successful or not, that didn't help me here.

I am now rereading each of these comments twice because you you have destroyed my trust in others. I am hurt and scared

There are so many typos and grammatical errors in social media these days that I just scan everything until I get the gist.

Duplicate words, incorrect punctuation, and questionable grammar are all normal. Stopping to notice is a barrier to interacting. So unless the context is formal or really matters, I just ignore it.

No, but I minned my wisdom so I could max out my charisma.

I had to read it twice because I thought I was reading it wrong. The second time I continued with the rest of the sentence and realized I had read two "you" in the phrase because there were two.
