Yes, indeed. It is the difference between a seasoned programmer and a novice/non-programmer. The former is able to see the whole as a pattern that is already understood, allowing one to focus on whatever the problem is at hand.
The latter, however, has to parse each and every word to look-up what it is/means/does, because the pattern/metaphor/language is not already understood. For the novice/non-programmer, there IS no difference between how they think in everyday terms and how they "read code".
