mettelus 387 Posted August 12, 2019 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bitflipper 882 Posted August 12, 2019 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.

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craigb 2,862 Posted August 16, 2019 Man, that censor sucks! Just take the letters in "ears" and rearrange them starting with the "a" then the "r" then the "s", etc. 🙄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
