subtle revolution

"There are two kinds of revolutionists, as of most things- a good kind and a bad. The bad revolutionists destroy conventions by appealing to fads- fashions that are newer than conventions. The good do it by appealing to facts that are older than conventions." (G.K. Chesterton)

expresso

It's Espresso, not expresso. ESssssssspresssso.
It's not hard to say- Really.
Try it.
Espresso.
Now say, "Expresso."

Yeah... see the difference? One has an 's' and the other has a 'x.'

Starbucks serves espresso. It's delicious. Get used to saying it correctly. But then again, go ahead and say it whatever way you want. The barista will just have a good chuckle at your expense.

    I beg to differ. My Italian wife has all these old-school gadgets she uses at home to make me espresso. Starbucks is a nationwide food chain. One might even call them a fast-food franchise. Thus, they serve express-o. (chuckle, chuckle.) Just pulling your chain. I get a little miffed about that very same thing.

    Viva los Estrella Dineros, or whatever.

    By the way, Greg is indeed "watchman". A good name. Perhaps a purpose defining name, even.
