I’ve often compared my poor communication skills to speaking to someone in a foreign language. I’ve studied a foreign language, and I know what it’s like to struggle with putting every word that you want to get out through a “filter” of sorts. Even though I speak English and everyone around me speaks English, I still often feel like I’m struggling to “translate” between my brain and my mouth. Hope that makes sense.
Yes.

Although what I'm telling here is a little bit different. My device (the computer) that translates thoughts into words seems to be a simpler one than those more sophisticated units other people use. It's ok in terms of speed, but falls behind when it comes to metaphors, associations, wittiness, etc.
