A is never really A

...it just reminds us so much of A that we can't tell the difference.

Each instance of a pattern is actually a separate event of a particular duration and character. Similarity itself is a property of memory, both our own neurological capacity for memory and the memory which makes up the Cosmos (makes up in every sense). I'm sure that a brain injury

I never have trouble with big words outside of not remembering how to spell the trickier parts. It's generally the small words that look bizarre to me. Words like "what" "who" "there" and other simple words. It's the weirdest thing, I know I'm looking at the right letters in the correct sequence, and yet it looks fucking wrong.

I don't get it.

It's like the word is not there. Like it went away into the ether to another dimension. Even when I look it up because I'm doubting myself that much, and I confirm I wasn't wrong, it still looks wrong.

I wonder if it's connected to my image recognition problems I had when I was a kid; looking at black and white comic books was a good one, I often couldn't recognize a damn thing and saw just a big mess.

Yes, I experience that sometimes. Who is particularly odd as the connection between the spelling and the sound is particularly loose. It sounds like Hoowe but I donno, something about how the other Wh's have a silent h instead of a silent w makes it strange and then adding in the meaning of the word makes it all sort of aurify epileptically in my mind.

Probably these short common words are too universally associated, too devoid of character to get a good grip on so that their pervasiveness can make the whole front end of your brain kind of rattle when called into question.

An excellent supposition, I've not heard a better explanation. Been frustrated for some time trying to put that into a sensible explanatio.

I heart you :D
