Gotcha. And I wasn't trying to criticize you so much as I balk at people misleadingly claiming fluency on this board. I've repeatedly said that even I'm not fluent even though my Japanese is pretty good, and I think the word "fluent" is used often by people who ought to claim they are "conversational."
There are times on this board where people who lack experience in Japanese advise new members incorrectly and are misleading in doing so, and that is what I'm not a fan of. Hence my comment.
But I wasn't trying to sound angry or anything. If I did, I'm sorry.
