hmm... are you sure?
The average human only uses like 12% of their brain's capability, or maybe it was 2%.
Once something goes into our brain, it stays there, and when we say we have completely forgotten something, it's not because it was erased from the brain, it's just that you never think of it, that's why you couldn't recall that certain memory.
back to topic, my native language is mandarin, but I've lived in the US for almost 9 years.. I still do my multiplication's table in mandarin xD, but instead of thinking in mandarin, I think in English now for the most part. Like when I first started to learn English, I'd have to translate every word in my head to chinese first in order to understand. Now it's the other way around.. for the most part.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
