Fluency (colloquial sense)

From Teflpedia

Fluency, along with its adjective fluent and adverb fluently, are frequently used by non-linguists to mean something vaguely related to language proficiency.

Hence, learners asking questions like “How can I learn to speak fluent English?”[1]

Typically, the non-expert hasn't considered exactly what they mean by fluency, and their concept of whatever they mean doesn’t match the technical definition of fluency.
