Local blogger BlenderLaw, finds that where you live does make a difference…, and that living in Miami starts to mess with one's perceptions:
Visiting Asheville, NC, after living in Miami for a while, the ingles supermarkets signs looked to me as though they were advertising something English, or for English people (in Spanish) – and this happened the 4th and 5th and even 10th time of reading the signs. I'm not sure I would have read them that way 10 years ago.
