    “we got down from the car and went inside” can make sense. Assuming the ‘car’ is a truck… and it’s lifted. or just a new model ford or chevy.

      If you grew up with people who’s first language is Spanish, you probably don’t even think about it. I honestly had to read it a bunch of times to understand the issue, and English is my first language.

        I agree. After reading the article it seems less surprising than the title reads. Just English words in the order Spanish words typically would be.
