Exactly. That is kind of my point. Many europeans are able to participate in technical discussion in english even if our regular english is lacking. When I visited relatives in the US I noticed the problem that I could speak of computer science topics, history etc without problems, but struggled big time even naming the most basic food items. I knew what spam email was but was unaware that it was an actual food product until I visted wallmart and saw spam on the shelf which made laugh far more than perhaps such an observation reasonably warants. I also can’t read a lot of regular prose very well. I can read any technical subject quite well though. To be fair I was shocked when visiting the US how bad many Americans are at formulating themselves on paper.
