Sorry y'all I forgot this community existed 😭 so much on my mind... will likely pop in less frequently now...
I mean I get the point, but honestly I feel like if I was carrying such a large baby I'd seriously appreciate the counterbalance.
A gazillion years ago my teacher at uni wrote this on the blackboard (might've been a whiteboard, don't remember):
Paris in the
the spring
He then proceeded to ask random people to read it out loud. This went on for several minutes, while I was in the back row listening to all these people repeating "Paris in the spring" and losing my mind thinking I was hallucinating the second "the".
Conclusion: not a new thing at all, humans have always been clumsy fools, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

It has always been easy to miss seeing the repeated word, but it's not easy to accidentally write a repeated word by hand. I only do it (as far as I know) when I'm typing with auto-complete. (And I'm not even sure why auto-complete has that problem.)
Just a matter of being distracted for a second ("will pounce on.... What? Uhuh? [...on on on...] Yeah, cool, bye. What was I writing? Oh yeah: '... on you....'". And then you proofread and miss the repeated word.

I support this motion.

pounce on on you
Wow I read it like 3 times
I don't think I've seen Everett look so defeated.
Everett needs to mind his own damn business.
Is a lady pouncing on your like a tigress a good or a bad thing? I guess for a dedicated family man like Mr. True both options are bad.
