We use our entire brains. Every part of the brain is known to have a function. Only about 10 % of the neurons in the brain are firing at any given time. However, if all of your neurons began firing at once, you would not become smarter, but instead suffer an epileptic seizure.
This is a question of neurobiology...there's not many philosophical problems here (the GDF would suit better). The only thing we could do is to talk about men's finiteness. 😉
On a side note, I am sick and tired of those who try to boost their egoes by mocking the members who don't speak English well. Not anyone had the "priviledge" to be born in an English-speaking country ; not anyone had the chance to take lessons to master foreign languages ; most of all, people whose mother tongue is English are the ones who on average learn/master the fewest number of foreign languages. So keep low profile.

not EVERYONE.
In general, I agree with you.......little mistakes and mix ups are over looked. The guy who originated this thread made zero sense. His post was complete nonsense. I appreciate the effort but if you don't know the language, don't use it.....
I don't know spanish yet you do not see me posting gibberish like, "casa de burrito te por que da nada"

dont aim too high buddy.
after reading that post i would suggest to shoot for about 3%...
then i'd say you've made some serious progress.
Translation: To use the 100% of the brain's capacity is to have a higher-functioning brain. This is because using 100% of the brain develops the cerebral mass and aids in the creation of neurons. Also, I am of a lesser species that is only pretending to be human. I know absolutely nothing about neurology or psychology or any of those crazy -ologies.
Braaaaains....
