Hey, Keith and b'fishers,
sorry for taking part in an on-going discussion without reading the
previous contributions to it, but your illuminating passage about the topic
is good food for my mind.

Keith, you wrote:

> any evidence out there  that grammar knowledge enhances critical
thinking? 

Well, unfortunately I haven't any evidence but Wittgenstein's famous
expression:

                 "the limits of my world are the limits of my language"

Don't you think he was right?  I'd like to have your opinion, if you have
spare time for me.

Annalisa
