His mind emphasises the consonants instead of the vowels.

That is such a helpful insight.

I'm always on the lookout for new ways to think about how we process the world, just curious if you're aware of this distinction appearing in something like poetry / music?

this is makking me think more about japanese where every consonant is paired with a vowel.

makes me wonder how much of what we call developmental issues are culturally dependant to manifest

that’s right! I hear Cah and a T sound. I never realized it was consonant I was hearing. ‘Button’ has 4? I could have divided all my answers by 2 and passed those quizzes when I was younger…
