[stylist] Thinking of words

[KajunCutie926 at aol.com]

Atty, I don't quite do it that way but I seem to be able to read  past 
typos without much difficulty... I think it might be partly because, though  I 
don't read Braille primarily, I do know Braille.. and I think I somewhat  
translate the misspelled word into a Braille contraction and really do not see  
the typo...like looking at the word as a whole instead of each letter as a 
part  of a whole.  Yet, what I find totally odd is that I can turn this off 
when  proofreading work.  Friends will send me the 'often gone around' 
emails  with lists of typos asking you if you can figure out the words... never a 
 problem for me...
but I also use visualization to remember things as well.. and I  have been 
told I have an audio data base in my brain   I repeat a  phone number or 
bank card number and it's stored away... worked much better when  I was younger 
though I will admit that

When I think of words I  immediately think of their color. I 
have graphemic 
synesthesia and my  numbers and letters are in color, but 
secondly comes the 
mind seeing  of the word and sometimes mine are braille simbols, 
sometimes 
printed  letters and sometimes a mix of both.

Anyone else do  this?

Curious  now,
Atty
