Frequently, when I buy coffee, I am asked something along the lines of "do you want room for cream?"
Of course, I do want creme. But I don't want as much as they think I do. So I am only left with one option: that I do want creme, but I don't want room for it. But it is a logical impossibility that I want a substance that takes up no space.
It is, of course, excruciating to me to face this conceptual impossibility so often.
Though, not as excruciating as getting an ounce less coffee than I paid for.

there is a significant difference between the words cream and creme.
i can't take this post seriously until you make up your mind about which word you think you want to use.
i know your local coffee shop from back east has spoiled you in your coffee to cream proportions.
