When we moved to Boston, there was a lot of culture shock. We had to learn how to drive like Bostonians, we had to learn how to pronounce the cities "correctly," and remember that when people are talking to us, they're not really yelling at us, it just they way they talk.
There are a couple things that I don't think I'll ever "get over" while we're here. One of them is "carriages."
A "carriage" refers to a shopping cart or stroller. Nobody says "shopping cart" or "stroller." I just can't do it. Not because I'm better than the people here, because I'm not, but because my brain doesn't think that a shopping cart is a "carriage." I always think of a carriage as something pulled by a horse. I'm not about to think that I'm a horse either.
