SSSusan:
And are you certain that learning to love and learning language are 
the SAME cognitive mechanisms?  I'm not.  The concept of language 
and the concept of love aren't the same.  One revolves around 
emotion, whereas the other revolves around cognition.  

And I'll take that "probably" re: teen Tom! :-)
