“When it comes to language, we're all wired the same. Humans have
pretty much the same intuitions about the same kinds of phenomena in
lots and lots of different languages. If I say "You that look understand
idea can," you have a very different intuition than if I say "Look, you
can understand that idea,"even though the words are the same. There's
a part of you at the unconscious level that tells you that one of those
sentences is well-formed in a way that the other is not.”
