The word "they're" makes me think of ghostbusters

Since I was a small child, looking at the word "they're" makes me think of the movie Ghostbusters. It only happens when I SEE the word, never when I hear it. There and their do not have the same effect.

I doubt anyone has experienced this exact phenomenon, but has anyone experienced anything like it?
Do you think it's normal?

I have words I hear or see that I associate with different times/places/things. Everyone does. But now everytime I see "they're" I'll probably think of ghostbusters :s haha

I have no idea why... in fact, I don't think I've ever seen the movie "Ghostbusters!" Seriously!

I'm sure I've seen parts of it, at one point or another, but certainly not the whole movie.

The only word that could cause me to think about Ghostbusters other than obvious ones is "ain't", as in "I ain't afraid of no ghost", as it's such a shocking double negative it's no wonder peoples grammar is so poor these days considering we grew up listening to that!
