Sapir-Whorf

Recently, I’ve seen the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis used to motivate new spins on old ideas, such as behavior-driven design. For those unfamiliar with Sapir-Whorf it comes from the school of linquistic determnation, and taken to the extreme posits that a person’s language determines the way he or she thinks.
I’m going to post some thoughts about bdd soon, but this appeal to Saphir-Whorf reminds me of an experience I had about 10 years ago.
