Well, Chris...
Phineas Gage had his corpus collossum severed by a 6-foot iron tamping rod
that was driven through his scull by an explosion (for those of you who
don't know this story - it's true) and he didn't seem to have any problem
with the subtleties of English afterwards.
That said, what on earth does this have to do with what either Jon Awbrey,
John Sowa, or I were talking about?
