Are you referring to current fluency or languages that one has formerly been fluent in? Also, I think that "complete and utter" fluency is a poor target. I think I'm an expert on Python (and I think other people would agree with that assessment ;-), but I certainly don't consider myself to have "complete and utter" fluency. In fact, in some ways my fluency has degenerated now that I'm focusing on writing code for production. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "19.
