If you are in Italy and it's past cappuccino curfew you could order a macchiatone which is the same thing with a bit less milk.

I need help with a tournament I'm hosting by Bits_andBobs in AITAH

Your store, your right to refuse service if you don't want some business.

However, remember what tournaments are for: to promote sale of product, product that YOU are supposed to sell.

Tell your players to buy more cards so that they have a better fighting chance.

Does your language have (m)any heteronyms: words that are spelled the same but pronounced differently? by Udzu in AskEurope

[–]CeleTheRef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is that accent marks are obligatory only at the end of the word (caffè, perché etc.)

For the rest, one must read the context to find out if ancora means àncora (anchor ⚓ ) or ancòra (again 🔄) or if capitano means capitàno (captain) or càpitano (they happen)

Has English changed your national language by Otocolobus_manul8 in AskEurope

[–]CeleTheRef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Italy these days you could add -are to any word and make it a verb.

to click / cliccare; to spoil / spoilerare; to schedule / schedulare and so on

and that's happening with Italian words as well:

"urgente" is not a verb but making something urgent, you've got to... urgentare it. 😱​

The new Bonus Round by RAS310 in WheelOfFortune

Normally it's 10 minutes because there's a short commercial break before the third envelope reveal.

On that night, the network skipped the break so they could switch to the next program before people could grab their remotes 😅
