Yeah, and see, it would take me MUCH longer to internalize that it's a 6-letter word than it does to just assign it the value "GRAN-bee" and move on.

Hm. I think some equations are like that, but overall no, I still "hear" the aural value of each symbol as it arrives in the equation. After I do that, then I can take it apart or rearrange it as necessary to solve for whatever variable is in question.

But see how cool this is? Cognitive theory in my journal!
