I truly agree with this. I still remember the first time I heard of that idea of thinking in words. It was from my Portuguese teacher (I'm Brazilian) on 6th or 7th grade in school. I was blown away by that idea so I started observing my own thoughts. In very few occasions I had words come to my mind that described what I was thinking. Most of the time, thoughts were very abstract and indescribable, or simple sensorial information (shades of colours whose name I didn't know, smells that I couldn't name or describe even if I wanted, sounds, etc). Regardless, there seems to be people who think everybody thinks the same way, and the most vocal ones seem to be the ones who consider thoughts to be 100% language-based.
