@Kat OH from battle-royals

for some reason i thought you meant the origin of the modern sense of "battle royale"

i wonder how many kids have read old-timey literature, encountered the word "fortnight", and had a moment of severe cognitive dissonance until they realized it's spelled different

@Felthry @codl really i wouldn't consider caffè an english word on its own at all, like felþry said, so much as an indivisible (in the context of english) part of the loaned phrase "caffè latte" that is used as, essentially, a jargon term in english speech

@Felthry @codl *have different meanings when used in english, i should say. one is the shop, the other is the drink

@Felthry @codl yeah

café and caffè are borrowed from different languages and have different meanings; plus "caffè" as used here is uncommon in english speech (more idiomatic would be just to say "latte")

because of that, and because the term "caffè latte" has a specific meaning in coffee shop parlance (as opposed to other coffee drinks that use different proportions of milk and espresso and whatnot), "caffè" here isn't a likely candidate for being corrupted by another spelling

so, it persists

sorry, my what, Pokémon Café Mix? surely you, Pokémon Café Mix, did not misspell the second word in your title, right?
