Quickie Question

Evil


At what point do you think you fully developed your comprehension of the English language? Was it during university? Or was it before or after?

For me, it definitely wasn't any time during high school because I remember studying for the SAT and there was still a crapload of vocabulary that I had never seen before. And I remember barely understanding the most difficult of the reading comprehension passages.

Just wondering. Thought about this topic because I'm doing some homework and just came across the Mandarin word that translates as "sagacious." One of those SAT words I remember from long ago. Learning a second language as an adult is hard... there are so many nouns and verbs that compose a language. Blerg.
