Of course. But you didn't have to go so far as Cicero; any ancient Roman would suffice to beat me. :D But, anyway... thanks.

I don't know about that. There were plenty of very poorly-educated Romans who no doubt mangled their own language no end.

True; but I suppose it depends what kind of "fluent" we're talking about.

Because, in the kind of fluent you seem to be talking about, I'm more fluent in English than some native speakers, but they would still beat me in casual conversation.

Now, I surely wouldn't give mulier a gen. pl. mulierorum like some Pompeian did. So for this kind of thing... :p

That's hilarious! If anything I would have expected mulierarum. So weird that they'd use second declension...

Well, but what matters is the kind of "fluent" the OP meant, who (presumably) wanted to know whether you could write Latin competently, not speak it. :p
