7 oct 2016 show - EXPRESSO?! Really?!

I really believed that Judge Milian was a well-spoken, literate lady. Every time she said eXpresso, I cringed. It is eSpresso! Espresso, espresso! No 'X'. It is not 'fast', as in 'express', it is a kind of coffee, 'eSpresso'. Please inform her Honour of the mistake.

I am disappointed, but once she hears of her mistake, I am certain it will not happen again.

I think it may be a cultural/language thing. I live in Miami and there are many Cubans in my office, and not a one of them ever gets this word right.

I took it as a culture thing too.

It's funny, because they drink that stuff like it's going out of style. Every afternoon, the line forms in the cafeteria. They call it expresso, or just cafe Cubano.

I call it rocket fuel. :-)
