Very similarly, those fluent in a given language usually imagine it utterly easy -- until they try to teach it to others unfamiliar with it. Or to take a third case, I could give you a lecture off the top of my head, effortlessly, on the history and theory of the Germanic languages and literatures, which (unless you're already knowledgeable or I pitched it appropriately (knowing how by long practice)) you'd find bewildering. Otoh, that double parenthesis I just committed probably won't've bothered you nearly so much as it would have an English major. In all cases, the adept have learned so much, for so long, that they disremember the effort it once took (in early childhood, in the case of a mother tongue). > Here's a practical example... > > Okay, we have our F15 TC1 Desktop live image, let's go to > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test .
