If you’ve been reading for a while, you might remember I mentioned this word before, back when I shared my paper Begonia venosa tutorial. Lately, it’s been on my mind again.There’s a phenomenon (you’ve probably felt it) where you learn a new word (or notice a pattern, or a face), and suddenly it appears everywhere. Psychologists call it the frequency illusion. The thing hasn’t multipl
