I don't have synesthesia. But when I see some commercial brands take a common word and intentionally misspell it. That bothers me a lot.

Apostrophe abuse especially. Not so much when it is a simple mistake of its or it's. I make that mistake myself. But when a brand deliberately sticks an apostrophe in the middle of a word.

Call me pedantic. But I wonder if our pedantic sense which makes us perceive some things as just wrong, is connected to synesthesia?

Instinctively it seems we are all born with a proclivity to spot patterns and associations. And to be able to learn which patters are preferred over others. Even for purely arbitrary (cultural) reasons. So it seems we all have a kind of innate sense which lets us feel good or bad about certain patterns and associations.

I wonder if synesthesia is an over active version of that? Where any pattern triggers strong emotions?
