I’ve observed a similar thing with Scrabble. After some years (18 by now) of tournament-level Scrabble playing, I’ve developed the anagramming ability: throw a rack at me and I’ll dump the Polish anagrams with 70-80% accuracy. I no longer reorganize letters on my rack or even in my head: the anagrams just come back. It’s become an unconscious primitive.
Needless to say, it kicks in at random moments when I’m not playing. Passing by a store, reading train station signs, you name it.
- tibbar 5y agoI’ve noticed the same thing (although I’m sure to a lesser degree) after years of compulsively making puns about everything. It’s almost a self-imposed dyslexia where you start seeing words out of order in places you don’t intend. Sometimes this ‘module’ runs on completely serious statements I’m about to make and it’s very distracting. Look what they make you give… :-)
