I refuse to order coffee that comes in arbitrarily named sizes. I drink my coffee black and strong, which makes Starbucks a good choice, but I hate the names and refuse to use them. Plus there's a drive-through one nearby that is great for weekends when one of the boys gets up at 5:00 am.

*sigh* It's not arbitrary. This is easily explained.
There used to be only three sizes: small, tall, and grande. Pretty straight forward. Due to customer demand, they added a new size, venti (20oz). So now they have, small, tall, grande, and venti. I hear they are getting rid of small so now it will be tall, grande, and venti. Instead of renaming the sizes, they felt it was easier and less confusing to just stick with what they had. I see this as no different as any other company that has different labels for different sizes.
