Actually it bugs me that Starbucks feels the need to put their coffee sizes in Italian. Is their coffee even Italian coffee? It doesn't taste anything like the Italian coffee I used to drink in Australia (there's lots of Italian coffee in Australia).
I'm that guy as well. I'm not pretentious enough to order coffee in Italian in the USA, especially when I consider every place I bought coffee at in Italy only offered it in one size. If the sizes were in Seattle Grunge terminology (depressed, OCD, Heroin Addict OD) then I'd definitely use that instead of the universally understood Small, Medium and Large.
