I read "patents" as "parents"

I read patents as patients. It's weird how verb selection biases our reading of the object, falsely triggering our intrinsic capabilities for auto correction.
My auto correction was probably triggered by the adjective "evil" and yours probably by the verb :-)
Worse, i write "patent" as "pattern". Such a "designer" i am.
