Effs......

Actually, Jeff, you are measuring it backwards. This is an old test, better applied in a fixed font. Younger folks will tend to spot most if not all of the effs, while us more wizened (a.k.a. aged) types tend to skip the small words (as, of) when reading. So, if you catch six effs, you probably move your lips while reading silently.
