Words

That note on Kant started a thought process...

First thought courtesy of Penny Arcade. Take a comic...now, remove all the captions and put them in another language. What do we imagine the person saying? What sounds? Any at all?

If I know the language, I imagine the words being spoken. If I don't know the language, but recognize it, I imagine something that sounds akin to that language spoken out loud. If I neither know nor recognize the language, I imagine the noises Q Bert makes when he's hit by one of those purple coiled snakes.
