For James, college tastes like sausage,as does message and similar words with the -age ending.Synesthesia is a trait, like having blue eyes,rather than a disorder because there's nothing wrong.
In fact, all the extra hooks endow synesthetes with superior memories.For example, a girl runs into someone she met long ago.
Let's see, she had a green name.D's are green:Debra,Darby,Dorothy,Denise.
Yes! Her name is Denise!Once established in childhood,
pairings remain fixed for life.Synesthetes inherit a biological propensity for hyperconnecting brain neurons,but then must be exposed to cultural artifacts,such as calendars,food names,
and alphabets.
