7. I am aware of that

I was conceived in San Diego - lived there several times and spent far more time diving up and down the length and E-W across that state than anyone should be allowed to. Oddly I never learned Spanish because I was actually raised in New England where French was taught in schools starting in the second grade and many towns streets etc are in French. (Spanish is much easier and I kind of wish I had learned that instead since it's more useful than French these days.) Most of my immediate family lives in CA now and most of them learned Spanish in school. And I do agree that it is why the names of cities, towns, counties, landmarks, schools and streets are in Spanish, they were the first Euro-settlers so... The other members of my family speak German and English, I seem to be the only one who knows any French!
