Which makes me wonder: is there a form of synesthesia that assigns colors (or other presentation forms) to different parts of speech?https://twitter.com/coolsweng/status/1002202676652924933 …
I don't normally, but they are there with little effort. If a stranger walked up to me on the street and declared "a verb is a big red disc" or "a preposition is a green crescent" I would most likely agree and nod, feel these to be fundamentally correct statements.

In the same way that if someone asked, "what color are URLs?" the obvious answer is that they are blue, even though that's just a convention?

yes, exactly!

Whenever I hear the word adverb I see orange

I'm still mystified/fascinated by the little pink rectangular conjunctions and the gold keyhole interjections. I remember trying to glean meaning about these selections on a deeper level for far too long in elementary school.

I always thought interjection looked like a exclamation point
-
It seemed so obvious and possibly lazy/last-on-the-list, I was sure they didn't just do that. (But they must have.) And then if the interjection is just a shape that's sort of like an exclamation point, then what was the connection for all the rest?

I remember getting very frustrated for a weekend trying to understand a deeper meaning & deciding there wasn’t one.

The coolest thing my school had was the powers of 10 cubes. They had a little cube, maybe .5 cm on a side, then a stick that was 10 of those in a row, then a square that was 10 sticks and, a cube that was 10 squares and then the pattern repeated at 10x the size. It was amazing

I think they mostly affect me when I think of the actual word "noun" "adverb" etc. they change the mood of those words themselves such that the grammatical terms have color and shape for me.

Did you also have the wood thingies that let you use cards & build tree style sentence diagrams with the colors and shapes on the Montessori style worksheets?
