So now we have AI police who insist that anything with em dashes must be AI generated. It wasn’t my intention to write about AI again this week. Or em dashes. But
I didn't know what they were called, but I love em dashes! And the Oxford comma! My husband still insists on double spacing after each sentence, but I was actually pretty happy to see that rule go away. I've met a few self-appointed AI Spotters and they freak me out almost as much as AI stuff.
I have no idea what's wrong with the coffee house scenario, despite a bit of desperate googling. I assume that there's something about the order that makes it incompatible to Starbucks, but not ever having gone to a Starbucks, I'm danged if I know. I'm out of time, so I'm giving up on it. 🤣
I didn't get a notification for this installment, either, but it looks like I'm not getting email notifications for a few of my subscriptions, so I don't think it's a problem on your end. It may be a punishment because I insist on using the web-based version instead of the app (probably not). I've been using the Substack Subscription page so I don't miss anything in the short term, but I'll ask the gurus what's up when I get a chance...
Drip coffee and espresso are two different processes. IMO Starbuck's funny names for sizes has always been an irritation. In my book, a "tall drip" is a tall person with an unpleasant personality. Nonetheless, in Starbuck-speak, that's a regular 12 oz drip with two added shots of espresso, so someone is going to need a bigger cup. Maybe a Dorki (medium) or a Spendi (large) cup is required!

Ooh, detailed breakdown. And your names for cup sizes are much more interesting than Starbucks' own! 😆
