Me too !
I do stuff like that all the time. It annoys me, but I can't stop. Like counting the number of letters in a word and arranging them symmetrically to see if the syllables match, very simple eg: Kevin- Ke v in 2,1,2 so symmetrical letters and also 1,0,1 syllables.
Or: mechanical mec hani cal (3,4,3 letters and 1,2,1 syllables). And if a word won't work, that's when I start using the dots and underlines as extra characters to MAKE it work.
I could go on for pages trying to explain all the others, but I just read the above and it makes me sound a bit wrong already.
Just glad I'm not alone in this.

sorry...
but doesn't mechanical have 4 syllables?

mech an i cal...

this will obviously show my complete retardation at English, or spin your OCD into new levels.
