I’m a voracious reader. Took me decades to realize that otherwise intelligent people sometimes can’t follow a novel. Also, I can see it in my head, like watching a movie.
Good friend was over yesterday trying to read a username on my screen (which is a huge TV). The name was $SomethingDuo. He couldn’t pronounce duo. The man is illiterate and I never had a clue! Maybe he’s dyslexic? I would think the Marine Corp would have caught that. Maybe he ate too many crayons?
Never did well in chemistry, but give me a spelling I’ve never seen and I can nail it after a moment’s thought. Reading the Belter’s mish-mash of languages in The Expanse made sense, even in languages I don’t know. I’m also great at learning languages, spoken or written.
One more thing, I have a strong sense for the weather and seasons. My wife and kids are clueless, can’t even dress themselves appropriately. That’s probably learned behavior though. I’m a wuss for being uncomfortable outside and I’m outside far more than most people.
One more. I’m not afraid of wild animals, even the big ones like black bears, alligators and panthers. They’re not going to mess with you and you’ll be lucky to catch a glimpse. Thought that was normal, but even Florida natives are often afraid of gators.
