minus-squarelugallinkfedilinkarrow-up21arrow-down1·10 months agoCorrect me if I’m wrong but isn’t Irish Coffee exactly 1.27 coffees?
minus-squareDave@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-210 months agoWhen I make an Irish coffee, that’s definetly not what makes it Irish. Though by coincidence it does end up 1.27 times the size of a regular one, on account of the additives.
minus-squareTanoh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·edit-210 months agoNo, “irish coffee” is coffee with alcohol in it. At least where I am from.

minus-squareowsei@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·10 months agoit may be but the usability is about being common if everyone (or almost everyone) used it, it would be useful tho, I still like metric better because it matches our base but if ppl around you use irish to mean *1.27, go for it
minus-squareUQuark@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·10 months agoIrish always means at least 27% better.
