Yup, English is hard for the native born. I pity people who learned English not immersed in the culture.
Many years ago I predicted that there much be a class of German
language joke predicated on ambiguity in reading that language's

In "Arrested Development" the David Cross character decides that he should advertise that he is both an analyst and a therapist. He prints business cards with a portmanteau word that describes this.
