Do you speak English?

I thought I was fluent in English. Now I know I am not. Good, but not fluent.

Every day I read and hear new words and my dictionary is always open.

Two new interesting ones I got during the last weeks: revamp (I thought it was something to do with vampires) and triage (you might think this is some product evaluation period - not at all!).
