Didn't know that word (not a native speaker). Thanks. My question still stands though.

  In my experience, non-English speakers with degrees tend to have a good grasp of technical words like "asymptote". It's the little stuff that tends to trip them up. Maybe like the transformation from "asymptote" to "asymptotically". :) This rule of thumb does seem to apply much more strongly to the speakers of Asian languages than the speakers of European languages, though.
