I was exactly the same way when I was a child. This is the first time I've ever heard of this phenomenon in another person. It's no longer with me, though. I think it left when I was a teenager. I do still have some other OCD habits, though. It sometimes takes me a long time to leave my house, because I keep going back to the door to make sure it's *really* locked. ObConlang: Although it wasn't a conscious reason, this might be why I gave Gladilatian the word, "zvrna", meaning "balanced, especially with regards to left and right", and had the gladifers consider it a to be a form of "appropriate". =========================================================================== Dennis Paul Himes <> dennis@himes.connix.com homepage: http://www.connix.com/~dennis/dennis.htm Gladilatian page: http://www.connix.com/~dennis/glad/lang.htm Disclaimer: "True, I talk of dreams; which are the children of an idle brain, begot of nothing but vain fantasy; which is as thin of substance as the air." - Romeo & Juliet, Act I Scene iv Verse 96-99
