If thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.
George Orwell


Keep that quote in mind, and listen to people talking. It's an eye-opener.

To: LearsFool
The lack of fluency in their own native language dooms a good many of our population to lower-class existence. You simply can't think clearly with the thought processes evidenced in the vocalizations of some of these people.

I don't believe it's an inability to express themselves well, I believe it's a vapid, low-quality way of thinking, held back by an inability to form a thought inside your own head that you yourself can actually understand.
