In practice, I've met many programmers who could discuss any programming
issue in English, without being fluent in English in general.

During one meeting, in Zurich, we went out to a restaurant for lunch.
The people who had no trouble discussing interrupts and terminals could
not help me work out what the menu said. They did not know the English
terms for foods or cooking methods.

On the other hand, the waiter could explain the menu in English.

I suspect the world contains many people who know the subset of English,
especially technical terminology, that applies to their own field.
