My answer to an Englander living in Benidorm, would be the same as to a Basque living in San Sebastian - and equally or otherwise comprehensible
Also if a poster appears to misuse a word - e.g. 'traduce', and I see they're from Spain then I'll look up the word in Spanish. In that case I'll assume they mean 'translate'; in English 'traduce' means to besmirch, trash someone's reputation. If I didn't know they were from Spain, then I would assume nothing and seek clarification.
