  1. A sign that you're mastering the English language is when you're confident in "creating" a word/phrase in your mind/speech without hastily looking up said word/phrase.

    1. @awlditzy Similarly, when you can infer the meaning of a word you don't know without having to look up said word.

      1. @eeeie that proves a bit more simple in my mind when it is full of affixes and you recognise the root.

        1. @awlditzy Only time it's difficult is words like "terrible" and "terrific".

          1. @eeeie to be honest the only reason i knew the difference is because Italian has "terribile". Is that-is that James?
