Great article.
〈Lost in Translation〉 (2010-07-23), by By Lera Boroditsky. >From The
Wall Street Journal.

the way people see the world; a different sense of blame in Japanese
and Spanish”

no surprise to lispers.
though, standard caution apply here... do take the findings in the

vague notions, misleading, and sometimes outright incorrect.
Also, for those of you dumb mono-USers... perhaps it's time to pick up
another lang. lol
and, time to learn lojban too!
