The words that English speakers have problems with are those words which are Latin and Greek based.  These are the words which are neither known nor spoken by everyone who speaks English.  They are taught in school.  Students are forced to memorize them in primary, secondary and high school.  The standardized tests which students are obligated to take to graduate, are full of words from this area of the language.  The SAT, ACT, GRE do not ask questions on the Germanic-based vocabulary of English.  They test one’s knowledge of those words known which are known only by the educated part of the English-speaking population.  These words, known as collegiate, are what one is expected to write and express oneself to demonstrate one’s educational level.  If one has not had the benefit of an education or a good education, this area of English is as strange and alien as any foreign language.
