Is it not against forum rule 8 to have more than one account? 

Yes it is, and this individual has had numerous.

And every time he appears the account he's using gets blocked.

jondwhite has commented on: "General Election – Campaign News"  —- Although the CPGB-PCC supported the SPGB at the 2014 Euroelection, a letter in Weekly Worker today states they were campaigning for Left Unity party in Vauxhall where an SPGB candidate is standing.  http://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1050/letters/ %5B1%5D  Whether they support other SPGB candidacies remains to be seen.  [1] http://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1050/letters/ Unfortunately, during a technical cleanup of the server data base the above post was inadvertently deleted.

These missing posts are not lost.  I'm sure they are still in my mailbox.  I can repost them with a suitable explanation.

Chomsky claims that underneath all the superficial differences of actual grammars, there is a single underlying universal grammatical structure which was installed in our brain through genetic mutation some time in our ancestral past.  The problem is, he has never been able to identify a single rule belonging to  his underlying universal grammar which all languages have in common.

Let alone identifying the gene or genes involved

I am no linguist, but I am also aware that languages divide the observable world up in different ways.  One particularly obvious example is the way they divide up the colour spectrum.  Colour words in Welsh for example do not map on to colour words in English. Welsh has a single word to cover what in English we would distinguish as dark blue and grey, for instance. 

I didn't know that and I had to learn Welsh yn ysgol. As a matter of curiosity, what is the word?

Here you go.The Celtic spectrum was different to the one the Western world is now used to, and based on the quality of a hue rather than its wavelength. So "llwyd" can mean brown (paper), blue (mould) or grey (rabbit); "glas" can mean blue (sky), green (grass), grey (horse) or transparent (saliva); "coch" can mean brown (sugar) or red (meat) and so on. There are learned papers on this "spectrum overlap", which is present in the traditions of Scotland and Ireland also.
