Aphasia


mettelus

Recommended Posts

Doctor's offices tend to run a lot of Discovery Channel style medical stuff in the background while waiting, but this morning I perked up as it was going over "blah, blah, blah [tuned that out until]... the confusion of common words, or the confusion of words with similar sounds..." I had never heard the term before, but made me think of the CH for some reason.

Plenty of word confusion around here, even if it doesn't usually rise to the level of clinical aphasia. I suspect it's like synaesthesia, insofar as everybody has a touch of it, and musicians are more prone to it than the general population. A little may even be a benefit if you're a lyricist or poet.

And here I thought it was simply an attempt at being cute and witty!  Hu new?

LOL, yeah, I just perked up when it mentioned those two symptoms. The *real* condition is actually an extremely serious one, so that took the fun out of the whole situation as is progressed further. It went from funny to rather morbid in under two minutes.
