Look, Nick, in your reply to my last posting on language, you paraphrased and quoted almost your whole message from a specific book - want me to quote page numbers?
What was written was actually largely true: but it was beside the point. I'm talking about the effects of language upon thinking; you brought in the genetic basis of language.
