I was coming home Wednesday night, waiting for an A train at Columbus Circle, and walked past the newsstand. One of the headlines read "Somos #1". I automatically translated that ("We're number one") and thought "Cool, what have we done now?" A closer look, and I saw an outline of the contiguous US and the additional text "37,000,000". It was the latest census data, that Hispanics are now the largest minority in the US. (I'd seen the story in my English-language paper.)
Suddenly, the context had slipped, and the "we" didn't include me. On first glance, I'd assumed that "we" was New York.
