Even worse than the second-life-herpes, would be if a second-life sprog was formed, as a result of the encounter. What's next-- virtual alimony? Hey, I'd push it.
Ah, but most people actually consider a "grande" to be the Starbucks equivalent of medium, not the tall (which is size #2). And technically in coffee/tea/non-espresso drinks, the tall would be the medium, and then in espresso bar drinks, the grande would be (as short isn't available on bar), and that would just make for java confusion! I can't *believe* I'm arguing coffee semantics;-P I'm a sad, sad girl.
Ah, but see, Starbucks actually has *four* sizes. *Short*, Tall, Grande, and Venti. So when I worked there, and someone asked for 'medium' (in a cofffee/tea/non-espresso-bar drink, that is), I always asked for clarification. What is the 'medium' size, in a set of four, I ask you?
However, I did know anal retentive baristas that didn't allow you to get away with calling your drink in the wrong order (i.e. non-fat, before 'no whip', etc), nevermind if you used non-Starbucks lingo to describe the sizes:-P
Ah, coffee semantics. This thread is beautiful...

That the internet be the one place we can relax *away* from snotty-nosed brats? Just sayin'.
