And speaking of another really strange quirky thing: I
count letters, both in speech (my own and other people's) and especially
in print. It takes me a ridiculous amount of time to read anything
because I count the letters in each word, each sentence, words per
sentence, average letters per word, etc etc. Does that have a fun name
like synesthesia does?

OCD? :-)
uh, that sounds more like some sort of obsessive disorder to me, for all
it's worth. how do you get through something as long as tolstoi's W&P doing
that?
