Nobody, at least nobody who is thinking straight, would claim that someone who can speak English, particularly one who can do so fluently, doesn't have immense knowledge and skill in that area. It may not be an economically valuable skill due to the ubiquity relative to the need, but that, again, is something else entirely.
