Even when using a "native" language, there is also the problem of a "reading" 
vocabulary vs. a "use" vocabulary.  In English, as well as in Ruby, the 
vocabulary I "speak" with is much smaller and simpler than my reading 
vocabulary; i.e. When I read novel or a program I understand many more 
language constructs than I habitually use.
