One thing that really gets me is that I will often learn a new word or phrase that I have never heard before, and the moment I learn that word, I hear it absoultely everywhere. An example is the other day, I learned what a dipthong is in my speech class. After that class, I read a newspaper, and found the word three times, once in the comics. I listened to conversation, and people kept using the word.
It happens with images, too. I will see a peice of artwork that I have never seen before, and it's suddenly everywhere. Can't tell if it's all coincidence, but it is strange. Anyone else have experiences like this? I hope this is relevant.
