Actor Giancarlo Giannini delivers a memorable line in the movie "A Walk in the Clouds". Giannini plays Alberto Aragon, a Mexican father, very protective of his daughter. He reminds a younger American man (played by Keanu Reeves): "Just because I talk with an accent doesn't mean I THINK with an accent!".
He's right, however, he's only partly right. He does think with an accent -- WE ALL THINK WITH AN ACCENT.
Our 'thinking accent' is formed by our age, base intelligence, education, cultural background, industry, personal experiences, personality, values, fears, intentions, and so many other factors. It makes each one of us see and process things differently from others.
