Yet Another Post About Taco Bell

January 7th, 2009 / #complaints, #food

All right, it’s been about a month since I have complained to the Internet about something trivial that shouldn’t even cross my mind, so here we go. People need to learn how to say “Taco Bell.”

Taco Bell is delicious. And wildly inexpensive. Therefore, it is a popular food choice amongst my peers. However, many of them seem it necessary to put an extra emphasis on the “a” in “taco.”

Listen, folks. It’s just two words. Say, “taco.” Good. Now say, “bell.” All right, now put them together. There is the name of your eating establishment.

It’s not like we’re comparing bells. If I were to say, “Gee, I like the food at Burger Bell, not Taco Bell,” then such an emphasis on the first word would be necessary. But you know what? There is only one bell in my life and it will remain this way for at least the foreseeable future.

Now, if I could just teach people how to properly say “hotel” and “insurance.”

Lay it on me, slim:

  • Who I Am

    I'm a nobody from Florida with things to say (sometimes).

  • What I Do

    I'm a mover (and sometimes shaker) in the Department of Journalism and Media Studies at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg.

  • What This Is

    This is a not-so-detailed account of my adolescence over the course of almost a decade. Here, I share my thoughts about things of no real consequence while at the same time being reckless with semicolons and flowery language.

    I used this website to connect with folks before Facebook. Today, I chronicle interesting thoughts and observations I have. I don't update as much as I should.
