Message: <blockquote data-quote="Norfleet" data-source="post: 912276" data-attributes="member: 11581"><p>Well, I, personally, usually think in a language. If this is true for everyone else as well, a convincing case can be made that sentient beings with a language think in that language. It is also true that I usually think in the language I most frequently use, rather than a foreign language which I also know, except when attempting to speak or use that language. This may allow thought detection of even surface thoughts to quickly unmask a foreigner, who, even if he speaks fluently in your language, thinks privately in a foreign language. It may also render you unable to decipher what, exactly, he is thinking, without also being able to comprehend languages, unless the thought-reading system specifically provides for this.</p></blockquote><p></p>
