espresso

damn good. in my fridge I've got a pound of what I'm told is the finest imported espresso grind you can get in NYC that is (supposedly) only available at this one Italian joint in south Brooklyn. and it really is superfly espresso. it's great because I have to stay awake until around this time tomorrow.

anyway, my point is that a lot of people pronounce it "expresso" and that's not the correct pronunciation.

 

I'm...

Le tired...

*floats*

 

some espresso, bella?

 

Argh, yeah. The only reason I came into this thread was to lament about the improper usage.

 

who calls it expresso?

 

People from Illinois.

 

ignorant americans.

 

People who get their expressos at McDonalds.

 

i finally got an espresso machine and i'm in love with it
it's not as powerful as the commercial one i used at my old job
but it's still
mmmmmmm cappuccinos

 

it REALLY grates on my nerves. not even so much because it's incorrect, but because it's even spelled phonetically.

"hey nick, do you want to come to breakfast with me and your cousin? they make a hell of an expresso at that place!"
"sure mum... but, er, it's pronounced 'espresso'"

 

Indie kids.

 

I don't think I've ever had an actual espresso.

 

i shall make you one

 

espresso is indie?

 

Did I say it was?

 

if you drink coffee you should try some.

 

You indie kids inspired me to start drinking PBR.

 

so should I take your "indie kids" remark as a non sequitur?

 

you're welcome.

 

i wish i was indie
i think i'll start by becoming anorexic so i can be all stick skinny
