Pastor Roger above says it's because the ofs are skipped over by the eye; since the eye is trained to gather meaning from larger, significant words first.


Also, I think it's because the eye is coordinating with the lips, phonetically, for the familiar phhht sound, as in 'files'; but the 'f' in 'of' isn't pronounced like that; it's pronounced as a 'v', as in 'uv', so the eye/lips doesn't pick it up.
