You're the third person to tell me that. It's looking like 'Evelyn' is the definite favourite! ;D
Also, actually, interesting anecdote:
I took a class a couple of years ago and someone somehow brought up that when they read they basically 'hear' the words. The prof thought that was very strange, and because she was a bitch who seemed to like to alienate her students* she said that was very weird and asked if anyone else did that. Everyone present raised their hands to show they did. She was somewhat taken aback.
* And an incredibly offensive sexist at times, too! I still regret not walking right out of that class the first time this was evident, but I was too shocked. And after that I stayed in basically because me and my friend were the only ones challenging her on anything, and figured that the rest of our classmates would become pretty warped if no one ever spoke out in argument with some of what she said. (Reactions among our classmates were varied. Some seemed to want us to shut up, 2 or 3 actually approached us out of class in a sort of awe, and the rest... I have no idea. Meanwhile, the prof seemed to half-ways approve of signs that we were thinking for ourselves, even as she penalized us for handing in material that contradicted her. It became a point of pride to do so anyway. What can I say, I'm really frickin' stubborn.)
