I got four, recognised the first "OF" but missed the second and third. Scary stuff.

I think the Fs in the OFs are missed because the F in OF is pronounced as a V. I gave it a quick read and got the 3 non-OF Fs and then I thought they were obvious so there must be something else to the puzzle, so I reread and picked up on the OFs. Ghud won moayet!

I got all 6 first time!!!

I did move the curser over the words as I read it though. Maybe I might have missed them if I hadn't.
