It’s a Medium, not a Grande
It is my most heartfelt private crusade: never use Starbucks’ absurd size terminology. Ever. Even though you buy their (admittedly very good) coffee several times each week, it’s a medium, not a grande. My only slip-up was some weeks ago, before a 6:00 phone call. Never again!

I feel similarly. One major weakness though: I find that if you try to order a macchiato anyway other than “doppio macchiato” then the cashier assumes you don’t know what you are doing and that you therefore must want a caramel macchiato or something equally horrendous. Does your crusade extend to espresso doses?
