Cool. (01)
Fluency?
I guess I've always tacitly taken it as being much the same as
fluency in a natural language. If I want to say something, I would
just be able to say it, and I wouldn't have to spend a couple of
hours digging over docs to remember niggles of syntax and without
having to speak slowly. But then maybe I'm not as rusty as I always
think I am when I haven't used a language for a bit. (02)
So my definition of fluency is sort of in comparison with that level
where I could hack anything together if so desired - fluency implies
absence of struggle. ;) (03)
