On point . On trend.
Rile me immensely
Often hear them on the apprentice first then everyone copies.
For me the word popular suffices

Americano seems to mean black - fine for me.
Mrs Brazil likes white coffee, frequently asks for americano with milk, instead of the 3,000,000 variations of white coffee.

While no one can deny the improvements to society brought about by phones and tablets, certain things concern me, or maybe I am just a good ol luddite.
1. The demise of cash. I find it bewildering the number of people who use a card to buy a single cup of coffee or a pint. It's especially annoying when their card or phone ferks up and you have to wait while they get it fixed.
2. Is it just me or is handwriting, spelling and grammar becoming a quaint old custom ? Acronyms and abreviations seem to be on the march mainly due ( I believe ) to social media chat boards, predictive text on phones. Poor spelling and grammar does boil my pi55.
3. Can people not even put their phones down when walking in the street, stepping off a pavement or even in a bar/club?
There you are.
My beefs . . . what are yours ?

In just about every post you do you fail to put a capital letter on a person's name.

Yeh, I go once a day, same time, same place

COFFEE

"anglicised" coffees get my goat

"Lartay" no its not, its Italian and its pronounced "Lattay"

"Lartay Machiatto"

Now that's a contradiction, Latte = 2/3rd milk & 1/3rd espresso...Machiatto = stained milk or espresso with a topping of milk foam, mix them and you've got milky coffee

"I like my coffee extra hot"- tea is brewed hot, coffee is brewed at 90 degrees C, Heat it further and the flavour is totally trashed...but if you want to damage the lining of your mouth and throat go right ahead
