<p>Since God clearly speaks English it is good to hear that Debenhams coffee shops will be knocking Johnny Foreigner down a peg or two by letting us <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/9650130/A-latte-Thats-now-a-really-really-milky-coffee-in-Debenhams.html#"><em><strong>order our caffeine buzz</strong></em></a> in the greatest language in the world.</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>A caffe latte is now called a &#8220;really, really milky coffee&#8221;, while a cappuccino has become a &#8220;frothy coffee&#8221;, and a caffe mocha has been changed to a &#8220;chocolate flavoured coffee&#8221;. Black coffee has been replaced with &#8220;simple coffee, with or without milk&#8221;, while an espresso is labelled &#8220;a shot of strong coffee&#8221;.</strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p>No more fancy names like grande or venti  either – it’ll be those simple three letter words mug and cup.</p>
<p>I am so pleased. The arty farty Italian words were used to create a false air of sophistication – and keep out the poor who simply didn’t have time to learn a poncey foreign language. To me those words always conjured up someone a little greasy and over excited and not to be trusted&#8230;.</p>
<p>God Save the Queen!!!!!!!!</p>
