In any case, I find Ron's assertion that "our intellectual thoughts
are dictated by grammar" to be an extreme position that defies common
sense and is unsupported by empirical evidence.
[Arlo]
Give me an example of an intellectual thought that is not dictated by
grammar? Hell, give me an "intellectual thought" that does not use "words"!
I'd say the reverse is true, what "defies common sense" is the idea
that our "intellectual thoughts" are not constrained by the language
in which we think! Of course, we also realize that this is not a bad
thing, since "language" bestows upon us the ability to have
"intellectual thoughts" at all!
