...times does the letter "f" appear in this sentence?

Franklin Featherstone is sometimes referred to as the Father of Refrigerated Freight, because of his efforts in publicising the benefits of this form of transport.

the letter 'f' appears only one time in the first sentence, the one that you may be really asking about, I think...... however;

It also appears 13 times in the sentence.... beginning with Franklin.

So, it could either be 1 or 13, at least that is what it looks like to me.

Most people skip the ones at the back of words like 'of'...I've seen this one before, so knew what to look out for...
