What are some examples of our language affecting our thinking?

Asked by roundsquare (5527points) June 3rd, 2011

I just got back from an event where someone said “what does it mean to throw something away? Where is away?” It was a good example of us using language to hide an assumption. Any other examples? Doesn’t need to be about any specific topic.
