Default Reading words over and over until they don't look like words any more
Does anyone else get this from time to time? If you just stare at a word and think "how the **** does that spell the thing that's in my head" or something.

I remember being sat in a cafe one time and I read the word "pink" over and over and basically had a bit of a meltdown and worried that I was high.

Yeah I get this too, and then you end up googling the word to check it (and then question if google is broken because you're so sure it can't be right lol!)

I get this all the time! The most recent one was the word eight- I ended up having to google the number just so that I could check I was pronouncing it right...

Especially with names, it's weird how common names can look weird all of a sudden.
