"It's no use being fluent in English when you've the vocabulary of a first grader."

I'm sure I've heard or read that from somewhere, and I think I should be on the receiving end of that comment.

Such shame. I've come to notice how very limited my vocabulary is. I'm not saying that I should be using big, colorful and sometimes rather frustrating words in writing, but the thing is, I'm not even close. All those books I've been reading...is this really the result of my scatterbrain?

I should read. Again. More.
