[Filter: Public]Truthfully, I've never been fond of that "small", "medium" and "large" system. It's not particularly descriptive, is it? Small is only small in relation to the medium, and large is only large in relation to the other two

What happens if I drink significantly more afternoon tea than you?

[bustybentobabe]

Then you may be forced to take a second cup.

It isn't a perfect system, but you must admit, it is an improvement.

[manicuredsmile]

How so, dear?

[bustybentobabe]

It provides a general reference. Without that, a "small" drink could be a mug's worth, a shot glass' worth, or a thimble's worth.

[manicuredsmile]

And how is "small" any different from "just enough for your afternoon tea?" Perhaps I drink significantly more tea than you.

[bustybentobabe]

You could estimate it based a teacup. Rather than only based on the other things served.

[manicuredsmile]

But there is no standard size for a teacup. I have teacups of many sizes.

Perhaps Ivonian teacups are larger than Vohemaro teacups, for example.

[bustybentobabe]

Perhaps you're thinking too hard about a specific example and losing sight of the point.

[manicuredsmile]

Could you give me another example? Perhaps that would permit me to see the argument in a different light.
