Me too as you can easily read as the previous post to yours.

I sidestepped "that" part of the question and focussed on language development. I thought that was more helpful .

My understanding. Language is complicated by a few things. You learn to emulate sounds by hearing them as a baby. If one of your parents has an atypical way of saying certain sounds then the baby may well learn to as well through simple repetition and nurture. It could also be a cognitive and/or auditory dysfunction thing as well , so nature. But when you put the two together it is likely to carry on generationally. I would expect that there might be some visual discrimination things co-existing too. So, if the person, while developing their language omitted the first and last sounds for an example that would be indicative of something cognitive. If that is detected in the early years up to 2 years then early childhood screening is recommended. The presence of Otitis Media complicates things as well because to a child managing or not managing with it they can hear sounds as though they are garbled through water and importantly through the formative years of language development. That might be affected by social structures if undetected or treatments unavailable. happy to be corrected on the thoughts expressed. As far as the class based questions no idea. Never been there. I don't know there is any basis to that.

Hi brand new member here. I have no expertise in any particular area and I am not qualified in any particular field either. I do love science though !! I do have broad areas of interests in the sciences generally speaking. Most recently a particular query in the physics area of time dilation ie QM and SR in how they don't gel on this matter. It has piqued my curiosity some what. I look forward to speaking with you all in the threads. Jasper.
