IF YOU KNOW THE WORD FLUENT

Heard at the club-house in La Coma, one afternoon not long ago:

Irishman (To Sten Dermark): So, your daughter here speaks English...
Sandra Dermark (to Irishman, confidently): Fluent.
Irishman (stunned): You know the word "fluent"... Pretty high level you've got!

(This conversation happened in real life!)
