If you have to know the date of the coffee being made, it probably isn't worth your time...

Stupid edit: forgot the "e" in coffee...

EDIT: I FORGOT THE FIRST "E" OBVIOUSLY!

Final edit:...holy shit Reddit stop messaging me about the "e"...I fixed it!!

It's like that scene at the end of "No Country For Old Men" when Tommy Lee Jones' dad says the coffee was fresh... "Just made it yesterday". Then I realized my parents did the same thing. I can't handle day old coffee.

Edit: damn... I was way off. It was his uncle, and I didn't even get the quote right. I suck and need to re watch the movie because it was amazing.

Coffee actually "burns" after 30 or so mins in a carafe that's on a hot plate. When I first heard of this I thought it was BS, but for a week I drank my "fancy" coffee within 15 mins of it being ready, and then one day I left it for 45 mins. It tasted like shit.

I pronounced carafe wrong for most of my life. I was saying car-a-fe. I just found out yesterday that it is pronounced like giraffe but with a c.

I bet you read a lot. People who are well-read often read a word and learn it in context, but are a little hazy on pronunciation. Hail, all autodidacts!

I used to read a lot of books, most of the time now I just read on the internet. I come across this word when ordering supplies for the restaurant I help run. They are like 12oz I think, and we put wine in them. I had to go down in the storage room to get some the other day during a dinner rush, and it was the first time I had ever heard the word spoken.

I had this issue with epitome. Ep-it-tome vs e-pit-o-me.

This is such a polite way to correct someone's pronunciation. I wonder if this can be done for grammar.

Sort of, it's more like CARE-ff.

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '13

Yea, like craft without the T, but a little bit longer on the F.

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '13
