I rarely think in English. I slightly suspect that I think in a different
language when I think in language, but if that's so, then I know it too
well to write it out.

However, the only time that I think in words is when I'm trying to decide
how to say something. And if it's urgent, I'll blurt it out; and if it's
not, the pause will be beneficial (allows me time to think *whether* I
should say it rather than simply *how* I should say it).

Indeed, if I spoke in Speedtalk, I'd speak a lot more.

Many people claim that we have so many Smiths because of immigrants with
names the IOs couldn't write, but I disagree. Blacksmiths were as thick
as mud for a few hundred years, and now we're not making last names, at
least not often. The fact that the synonomous name "Wright" is so common
puts a nail through it (so it'll stay, la).
