    Dude seriously, this 4-ply is going to be so strong, absorbant and soft on the skin that the military are planning to develop suits made out of it for infantry.

    Here's a prototype..

    I see your point, but the capacity for language comes built in. Particular kinds of languages developed, but language itself you're born with.

    I should stress, I supposed, that this is an opinion. Nobody is certain about this and the linguistics community is very divided on the issue.

    But this is a thread about opinions, so ...

    Also, I don't really know what I'm talking about.:stoned:

    Exactly...
    You're born with the capacity to learn language. And any language skills you aquire are from your surroundings after birth... if no one in your household talks, you simply won't learn to speak yourself. If people around you communicate on a really limited level, that is also going to affect your language development, slowing it down significantly... seriously how many kids who are treated as having learning disabilities are just the victims of parents who never really talked to them much, or used very poor language themselves? Wow this is getting off subject ima shut up now!

    I'm thinking, as a SPECIES, when humans first started communicating verbally.

    Without it, we wouldn't have had all the computers, telephones, and lightbulbs other people are mentioning.

    Also, fire and languange don't count because they weren't invented -- they were discovered.
    language wasnt discovered, it wasn't like all of the sudden after banging two rocks together out popped the english language. for language to have been discovered that would mean it was already in existance. which it was not. to communicate is an instinct, but to communicate thoughts and ideas requires a language which humans over time, invented. the definition of invent is 'to create by thought, to make or design (something that did not exist before)' language was created by thought. and as far as humans go , it did not exist before, therefore language was invented.

    The English language occurs naturally, in nature. Fact.
