Funnily enough, in French fast-food restaurants, they use small, medium, large & extra large… (Not to mention McDo’s – cheese, hamburger, muffin, milkshake etc… The menu has more English on it than French)…
“Err on” the side of stupidity? The servers got my name wrong so often (I’m a guy and they called me Mary once) that now I just tell them my name if Bob, they can’t wreck that one.
A former co-worker often introduced himself as “Aarron with two ’Rs.” Till Google, I had no idea what he meant … one of God’s Old Testament stiff-necked children. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Just saying.
I still remember my first ever “Bucks” order. I ordered a medium coffee. The clerk replied.. “A Grande Americano?” … I just stood there with a blank look on my face and embarrassingly said..“Yes!” I got a medium coffee and walked away confused.

“Okay, Arin, I’ll promise not to err in in spelling ‘Aron’.”
“Now, just to make sure, how do you want me to spell ‘Erin’, Arun?”
