Reminds me of a favorite story when I was traveling Tennessee with my boss (British expat): we stopped at a cafe for lunch and I couldn't stop laughing as he and the server could not understand each other - I understood both of them perfectly.
I've made miss-shifts as I roll out of the neighborhood, but typically I've got it locked-in after a couple miles. Heck, on the test ride with the SRAM Double Tap, I had NO IDEA what I was using (I wasn't shopping for a new bike, and hadn't read up on SRAM)... and I still had it figured out inside of a mile.
Next, I need to get a bike with eTAP, that will really mess with my head!
