Sylvie’s Underhanded Wonderland

Allow me to begin by addressing a little pet peeve of mine.

For the last (first?) time, people, it’s CARAMEL.

CARE-UH-MELL. Not “CARMEL” or worse, “CARMLE”,
which sounds like some horrible camel hybrid.
Pronounce/spell it the RIGHT way, and you’ll get
sweet sugary goodness. Say it the other, and
you get, among other things, a geographic location
in southern California.

Which would YOU rather have on your overpriced
coffee beverage?
