Syntax highlighting is our engineered Synesthesia.

I would love to try reading a book with the same support. Nouns in red and adverbs in green. It would be fantastic! So much passive information available… Now I think I know what my next weekend project is.

Some natural languages capitalize nouns, e.g. German. Japanese uses kanji for noun, adjective, and verb stems, and kana for grammar words and inflections.
