What about espresso with extra water?

Venti is 24 oz now?! Venti is Italian for 20.

Also most italians have no fucking idea how much one oz might be.

circa 30 millilitri a quanto pare

Don't confuse actual Italian for the arbitrary definitions Starbucks assigned when they appropriated the terms to sell their overpriced burnt coffee.

Tall stands for 12oz? Interesting. English "tall" sounds like the Norwegian and Swedish number 12, written "Tolv" (with silent "v").

This is coincidence - the two are unrelated. "Tolv" is cognate with English "twelve", and English "tall" is cognate with Swedish tal
tal - Wiktionary
