02br 02br 00I'd understand "a lawsuit" as an action taken against someone or a company, whereas "a case" sounds more to me like "a folder", that is the objective pro or con documents etc available to the lawyers. But wait for a native's opinion. 050010id1

pieanneI think "quick learner" is more idiomatic.
The example "I'm a fast learner." is from an online dictionary. What's the subtle difference in meaning between a fast learner and a quick learner? Thanks.
