Unfortunately, many of us have to acquire language to argue cogently with each other. Taking language as a performance is interesting. We sort out our knowledge of language and often stick to a space where we are most competent. There's nothing really new about that. We want are arguments and we are looking for those arguments. This is the essence of logic to offer them, and rhetoric to do it successfully (though we need not isolate our attention to just words, like "successfully", or "effectively", but there you have it). We have exceeded the competence of our rhetoric to offer logical arguments (this one for example). Jeez, I should be writing a book. Hint, hint.
