My wife already had a Masters in Computer Science before coming to the 
USA, and she learned a lot of English by studying the GREs. Early on, 
one day, she leaned over to me and said "Look at the sweater of the man 
with the sparsely distributed hair."   "The word is 'bald'."  "Oh, OK."

Just today, it was "do you need help to hoist the bicycle back onto the 
rack?" Perfectly correct, but way too sophisticated/educated a choice of 
words, at the same time.
