    “Latte” is milk, “Caffè latte” is coffee with milk

      Understood, but in the context of a coffee shop in an anglophone place it has a different agreed upon meaning.

        True, however the (presumably humorous) comment that keeps getting downvoted is technically correct

      In Italy, sure, but the sign looks to be from an American coffee shop, so “latte” doesn’t mean just milk in this context.

        True, however - as I replied to a similar remark - the (presumably humorous) comment that keeps getting downvoted is technically correct

          If by technically correct, you mean only correct if you mix languages, then sure. But afaik, this thread is in English.
