Something about coffee

Starbucks sizes:

- short (8 oz) is actually a real size, smaller than tall, that's not listed on the menu, but that you can order.
- tall (12 oz) is therefore taller than short.
- grande (16 oz) is supposed to sound italian, and by italian standards, is huge (or grand). italians would probably never drink anything bigger than a short, and the tall size would be pushing it for them.
- venti (20 oz) is also supposed to sound italian, and is italian for "twenty", which is how many ounces a venti has.
