Baader-Meinhof Yes, that's the proper name for what I described as "becoming sensitized to it." I really don't think that's it, and for the reason stated. Sometimes, there are just coincidences!
Weird. Literally just learned this word maybe four or five days ago and here it is. And I don't think it's a matter of having become sensitized, as can so often be the case, because I'm the kind of person who is always, actively, attempting to expand his vocabulary.
