Synesthetes: does this paragraph mess with your head?

Synesthesia

I know that some flutherfolk besides me have synesthesia, the internal phenomenon of experiencing sensory input of one kind as if it were through a different sense. For instance, your inner eye sees colors and shapes when you hear music, or you experience flavors in terms of their shape. Among synesthetes, my grapheme-color synesthesia is a common form: I see letters and numbers in color.

Focus of this question

Synesthesia has been discussed on fluther a number of times—here’s one. This question is not about whether the experience is real (it is) or what causes it. (I just have to say it is not an association but an internal experience of what seems to be an inherent characteristic of the stimulus.) It’s a question for people who know they have this condition.

Passage of text

Recently a jelly posted this text in response to a question on another topic:

(I’ve corrected the misspelling, a needless and irrelevant disturbance.)

My response to it

This passage almost made me dizzy. My mind tried to see each of the substitute characters two ways at once: as the numeral it is and as the letter it should be. Take that “PR4CT1C4LLY,” for example: in my mind, the letter A is red, and a word with more than one A in it tends to be red overall because it’s a very strong, dominant red, and capital letters are always stronger than lowercase.

But the numeral 4 is a bright, vivid blue.

So when I see the word “practically” written this way, my synesthesia is causing an unpleasant, even nauseating, vibration that just makes me want to look away.

My question

Does it affect anyone else this way?
