This (arguably unhelpful) phrase seems to be taught across schools all over the world. What are some other phrases like this that are common ?

I can. But I can't hear it at all.

I know the equation but "hearing" something in your head sounds.. weird

I've been hearing the Donkey Kong song in my head for the last 6 hours. If you know how to make it stop, I'm all ears.

Things tend to linger when we don't understand them or didn't initially hear them well

We reprocess them until they make sense

Interesting. If you focus on your internal dialogue, that's really the same thing except it's saying (or singing) something external.

Yes, I mean I have 10/10 visualisation/internal hearing/etc but the language denotation of "hearing" something that does not enter your auditory nerve is.. odd

I’ve never seen it with the x equals up front. It works much better when it starts with -b.
