Does it bother you that there are so many Spanish speakers in the country, or that they can afford to buy Fords?
I'm gonna go with the second answer for $1000.

Anyhow, I get spoken more Spanish to in Miami then any other place in the country. In the Southwest Mexicans almost always speak English to me and assume that's my language. In Miami, apparently I can pass for a Cuban as everywhere I walk into they just assume I know Spanish without me saying a word. I don't mind at all though...It's sort of fun for a vacation within the states.
Ding, ding, ding.

I have more trouble with Irish dialects myself. Scottish and Welsh are music to my ears.
