"Grammar is thought."

I read your quote, Tdol. Can anyone get one there?

I'm not sure I agree but then there are only three words so I'm not certain I know precisely what you mean.

Grammar, to my mind, can't be thought. We think of ideas, we choose words to express those ideas but no human thinks of the grammar necessary to express those ideas.

If you say, "grammar is unconscious", I would agree. Can something that is unconscious be termed a thought?
