the recent election cycle was not my country ' s finest hour . <| sep |> I agree with it and don ' t think it ' s controversial it really makes a lot of sense . The only thing that killed the SapirWhorf hypothesis was that the Nazis and other racists were using it for bad purposes . I mean if the Inuit have 20 different words for snow , they will naturally be much better with snow than a person like me that only has one word for it . Same thing with the French and wine , the Dutch and bikes , the Belgians and chocolate . If you can describe something in more ways than one , it means you have a better understanding of it . I think this transcends not only products , but abstract things . For example , the Koreans work better in groups because all their words naturally include we rather than I . They don ' t say school , family , or house they say our school , our family , our house . When they talk about your mom not their own , they say our mom . So of course , they will naturally work better in units . It ' s already programmed into their language .
