Starbucks sizes aren't really descriptive. Tall is the small size and the only one named in English, grande means large in Italian but is actually the medium-sized cup, and venti means twenty in Italian which is meant to be twenty ounces but the name doesn't tell you how big it is compared to the other sizes. It's dumb.

Lol that gives it a similar energy to people who get Japanese tattoos without knowing what the kanji even mean, only to later find out that what they thought said "powerful warrior" actually means "one udon meal set, please".
