I'm surrounded by librarians. I never knew there were so many. I feel like Wes Studi in The New World.

You watch pro wrestling, bro. I don't think you're running any risk of being mistaken for an adult.

Does Buenos Airesian not have the same problem or similar?

Not really. Spanish has different issues that trip up non native speakers (the difference between "ser" y "estar," for instance, both of which mean different versions of "to be") but positional prepositions are simple. I think we just have "en."
