I'm familiar with sensitivity to specific words. Yet, the term 'specific' can be a misnomer of sorts; as key-words make-up an ever-growing large vocabulary.

This is probably a combination of Aspergers, and inheriting both my parent's strong language 'right brain' traits, and logical 'left brain' abilities. I almost never associate this in negative contexts.

Actually, these traits can be funny and/or quite practical. Such as:

* Wordplay e.g., bad-puns.

* Skills in critical thinking e.g., locating relevant information (that is 'relevant' meaning important information that has "gotten lost in shuffle" of everyday life).

* When searching online, certain words periodically "pique my attention" - hence, I may be able to further infer just what may be 'relevant' information. In a sense, separating the "signal from the noise."

RELATED: I'm even interested in the growing use of algorithms to analyze Internet content, and automatically discern what is "relevant information!"

Does anybody here have occupations in industries that handle Internet content?
