I always understand "craftwork" when he says "Kraftwerk". craftwork != Kraftwerk. Not the same meaning and not pronounced the same. Kraftwerk = power plant.
@ZarlanTheGreen Isn´t synaesthesia when you SEE colours? I don´t see a colour when I think of a day, but still the days are assigned with colours. It´s not the same thing as synaesthesia.
@ZarlanTheGreen Interesting...I have some colours conected with certain days, months, songs etc. but only to some, and not with chords or single notes....none at all...
@AKindChap He did (and supposedly will), yeah. He also wrote some audio plays and played Professor Lazarus in the episode The Lazarus Experiment. For some reason I never made the connection that this Mark Gatiss was indeed THE Mark Gatiss, thanks for pointing that out

No.
Synaesthesia is common, true, but it's certainly not the norm.

@OxygenChrist Not necessarily.
It's "stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway."
So you might smell a weekday, or taste a colour or feel that the year 1987 is closer or further away (in a spatial sense, not time-wise) than 1856.
The most common, is to see colours for letters and/or numbers (they'll still see what actual colour it's written with).
