So a Sasquatch can't speak or understand spoken language..., WTF? Options

Koko the Sign-Language-Using Gorilla not a good example?

The most likely reason she can't speak, is because she can't make the sounds needed. Not to mention I don't think shes been declared sentient. And probably doesn't have the intelligence needed for it either.

What about hyzmarca's references to people who couldn't speak even though they could sign and or repeat song lyrics?

"[...]patients with no prior knowledge of sign language were able to acquire competency in aspects of American Sign Language (ASL) lexicon and finger spelling, in contrast to a near complete inability to speak the English counterparts of these visuo-gestural signs."

and

"The ability to understand and repeat songs is usually unaffected, as these are processed by the opposite hemisphere."

I don't see how the singing is relevant, but I must have missed that part of his post. Heres the next question, could they still understand spoken english?

Ok, this is fairly pointless. 278 posts, and the thread has been "You're wrong!" "No, you're wrong!" for the last 150+.

Closing her down. Feel free to start it back up, but unless there's a valid, relevant point to be made, and you're willing to at least look the other person's POV, don't bother.
