Your description of how you interpret=20 > what you see falls into this definition: Oh, no fair! You've out-pedanted a pedant! And actually I think it's very borderline whether this definition encompasses my experience or not. Regardless, it *still* takes me an order of magnitude longer to comfortably comprehend one notation over the other, whether you call it comprehending, grokking, or just plain reading. And actually, no, I'd rather not be special -- then I wouldn't be irritated by so many everyday things, or spend so much time wondering so many people have so much trouble with so many "easy" things... ;) Cheers!
