Wonderful. This ability has been narrowed down to a few genes. Some people have their word list ready on the tip of their tongues, for others it's inaccessible for "on your feet" types of uses, but available enough for writing. I have a husband like that!
Interesting. Explains why my mom has always had the same problem. So maybe there's hope yet for some kind of, you-know-what therapy to replenish the right proteins in the right places to maybe do that, um, thing I want done, um, repair, that's it. (God I hate that syndrome!)
