No, you just have synesthesia. There’s a couple of threads about it kicking around somewhere, but I can’t seem to find one at the moment.

I hate it when people use the same word to emphasize a statement. such as, “I like you, but I don’t like you like you.” This is very annoying. I also hate the word antidisestablishmentarianism because people in my school constantly use it to prove that they know a big word. And, theat’s the only one they ever use!

Synesthesia? Might’ve heard of it, probably not though. Anyone else help me out?
