Lexical hallucination
Jun. 24th, 2003 03:42 pmOn a totally different note, I have found myself lexically hallucinating a lot in the last few days. Maybe it's because I'm not getting enough sleep, but I have caught myself after misreading something badly at least three times in the last day and a half.
For example:
- (In a Vietnamese restaurant): peacefully enjoy your meal (It really said please fully enjoy your meal)
- On a bottle: Registered water (it really said Purified water)
Perhaps I'm spoiled by my usual super-fast reading speed.
