Partisan's was interesting as well. How simply we can all read that gibberish. It comes with lots and lots of practice!
. No, Partisan, I wasn't referring to you.Linda.

Now, this must be the height of stupidity. I counted four on my first pass. Now that I know there's six, I go back and very carefully try to find the other two. I can't. I cannot find the other two that I know are there. Unless this is a cruel joke at my expense. Ha! There probably is only 3 and I'm seeing 4!

My friends are much smarterer than me no I. A friend of mine a textile artist abd teacher told me about this book. We were talking about stuff then she mentioned this book and she knew the puzzle you posted ........... 
someone named Leonard wrote the book
http://www.alphabetvsgoddess.com/
In the bestselling book, The Alphabet Versus The Goddess, Leonard Shlain proposes that the invention of writing, particularly alphabetic writing, rewired the brains of the people who learned how to communicate using this culture-changing tool. Great benefits to society followed. However, a precipitous decline in feminine values manifested by women's status, goddess veneration, nature, and representative art occurred in tandem. For example, the European witchhunts followed closely in the heels of the printing press. The return of the image in the modern age through the medium of photography, film, television, and the internet have brought about a sharp rise in the values denigrated during the 5000 year reign of patriarchy and literacy.

The Computational Exploration of Visual Word Recognition in a Split Model

We argue that the projection of the visual field to the cortex constrains and informs the modeling of visual word recognition. On the basis of anatomical and psychological evidence, we claim that the higher-level cognition involved in word recognition does not completely transcend initial foveal splitting. We present a schematic connectionist model of word recognition that instantiates the precise splitting of the visual field and the contralateral projection of the two hemifields. We explore the special nature of the exterior (i.e., first and last) letters of words in reading. The model produces the correct behavior spontaneously and robustly. We analyze this behavior of the model with respect to words and random patterns and conclude that the systematic division of the visual input has predictable, general informational consequences and is chiefly responsible for the exterior letters effect.
