Hello,

: Although, you make me see that really there are some thoughts that don't use
: language anyway. For example: checking graph isomorphism by applying ``morphing''
: to one graph until it becomes another is thinking, but it doesn't need language.

Or a different example: free throws in basketball. You "think" about the way
you will have to throw the ball, but don't really voice the details of 
the balistic curve in your head.

Y, Scot
