PD.com: "the lot of you are some of the most vicious, name calling, vile examples of humanity I've had the misfortune of attempting to communicate with.  Even attempting to mimic the general mood of the place toward people who think differently leaves a slimy feel on my skin.  Reptilian, even."

I dont know in which BiP thread it came up, about language and metaphors.

this article basicly picks up what some guys here said.

It seemed to be a quite good artice, though, i didn't read it through yet.

gone through it and its not that good.

First paragraph is quite good, i think our world is definitly build and limited by our language, which is a vast collection of metaphors. Also i think language is one of the main influences to how we experence things.

You can't learn about a society without learning the language.
