I like starbucks, actually prefer it over second cup, but the ONE thing I always hate doing is ordering sizes in italian.. grande venti and..tall?Why use the english word for "tall"? The italian for "tall" is "alto".. why not? Even more interesting, the english translation for "Venti" is "great" and "grande" is.. "big". If they used the proper italian translations for small, medium and large.. it would be piccolo, medio and grandiIf it was dutch it would be klien, middellange, and groot.
So technically the deGroots are the big? Would that make James Mr. Big?
Ooh...I like that. James a.k.a. Mr. Big - I feel like Carrie Bradshaw.
