What is synaesthesia?
To quote liberally from Sam Scott's excellent resource: "Synaesthesia is a little-known and rather poorly-understood condition in which two or more senses mingle into one. One of the most common forms is the experience of colors linked to words, letters and numbers. Synaesthetes of this type experience written and spoken language as a rush of color associations. Others can see music, smell colors, or even taste words."
