how can you think of words if not... thinking of the words? That's really interesting
I assume it's the way I think of 3d objects which is that I have some sort feeling of its shape and the distance of a point to one of its surfaces. So just something that doesn't mimic a standard sense.
wdym, they're words?
If you're curious when i consciously think about words, my mouth will move a little as if i'm sort of trying to say words, but otherwise generally i just type words as i need them. I cannot formulate an entire sentence without writing it down first. I often go back and completely rearrange and rewrite things because of this.
If you think this is weird, imagine how we read. Should be impossible by that definition.
I am thinking of the words, I'm just not hearing them. Why would those be one and the same?
