I don't speak two languages, but I learned to count in binary, and now when people hold up five fingers I often think "31" before I think "5."

Re: How do -you- think?

well for me, it's like verbal sparring. lol.

it's like i keep undermining my last decision. u know, this might not work b/c of... or ooooo i think i win!

usually it helps me make good decisions, the bad thing is when u're intensely thinking or computing something in ur mind, u might say it out loud. That's when heads turn n ppl think u're insane :D

Re: How do -you- think?

If I am writing an essay ... I talk to myself .. but itll be like I write something then I will write wut I think of what I wrote right after in capitals. It's kind of hard to explain ... but it looks something like this (ps- this isnt really an essay that i wrote)

In grade 11 I started volunteering at the hospital. I COULD HAVE WRITTEN THAT SENTENCE IN GRADE 2 ... YOU KNOW MORE WORDS THAN THAT ...

im really sarcastic when i do it .. but i find it works ....

as for math and physics problems .. i break the questions down into pieces ...

Same here. :) I don't think I could put it any better.
