Answer: There are six instances of the letter ‘f’ in that sentence.
Most people say three. Why?
We often don’t correctly process the word “OF” for two reasons. First, the letter F usually makes the “f” sound; however, in the word “of”, it makes a “v” sound. Second, you have probably read the word “of” so many times in your life that you process it as one unit, overlooking the second letter/ sound.
“Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of years.”
