Ah well, just one more example of you not really 'getting it', I guess. Just this one thread is littered with them.
Re read what you wrote: "All I was saying was that not being able to see the colour yellow if you don't know the word 'yellow' does not involve any thought process." According to linguistic determinism, if "yellow" is not a word or concept that is part of your culture, you might not be able to see it. Cyr, your "All I was saying..." sentence is not clear or articulate. Or else you are trying to articulate too many ideas in one sentence, but you haven't succeeded. Instead of handing me out another red, why not explain where you fall out on the linguistic determinism issue? And you're right...I'm not getting "it" or you.
