So in addition to the 3 languages I already speak I just discovered that I now speak "Starbucks". It's really embarrassing actually. There is a Starbucks here in the Radisson where I'm staying and I've developed a taste for their shaken iced teas. They look at you blankly if you say you want a "large". It has to be "Venti". Then their terminology dictates that you also be very grammatically specific vis a vis sweetener so I have to say "half sweet". I've been well trained so I can just roll it off my tongue now. "Venti sized half sweet Passion iced tea". I'm not sure if saying "sized" is correct but they don't seem to object. Boy do I miss Tim Horton's. I could order a coffee on occasion if it was a Timmies. I hate Starbucks coffee. Oh well. The iced tea is nice and helps to keep me hydrated.
Have a great day all.
