I also think in terms of concepts and abstractions instead of words.

Words themselves are basically shortcuts average people use to think (at least I believe so - there are some who think language itself goes forward to define thought processes and it's velocity, but for me that's as simplistic as saying one's physical strength depends solely on one's weight).

See, you don't speak english as much as your own interpretation of it, and the same is true for everyone. It's mostly the plasticity of the brain that allows mutual comprehension.
