seeing sound and hearing colour.

I was watching this interesting show the other day about synesthesia. The more complex forms of it are pretty rare, but apparently the most basic form may be as common as 1 in 100! I know at least 100 people. Maybe someone I know has it! Anyone out there see letters and numbers as being coloured?

1 in 100? Wow!

I know! That was what the tv show said anyway. The Wikipedia says 1 in 23, which is even more amazing, but I find that a bit hard to believe...

could be though. might be something that people don't even realise is the case if they have always had it?
i don't though.

My Dad has it. That's not exactly someone you know, but kinda close. It's nifty - he sees numbers as colours.
