I liked this aspect of the thread. Does language use relate to intelligence? I tend to agree with Shanifaye. When I hear someone speak "inappropriately" in a given social context, I tend to think that they aren't very socially adept, that they don't understand the social nuances of the context. It is in that sense that I believe intelligence and language use are related.
(Of course, I'm speaking in a very general sense, not about JinnKai or any individual. There are likely very bright people that use "inappropriate" language in social contexts. Still, I think that there is a relationship between intelligence and language use).
