Have you ever talked to a legal immigrant on U.S. history? The test they are given to get citizenship is really tough.
In short order we learned that she did not know the meaning of the words “gauge”, “rebar” or “Rottweiler”. She'd never heard of any of those things — but she sure was strident about being a vegetarian!
It's not my fault that you can't describe an event in written form.
