TOPIC:

I'm seeing "larger" on more and more beer bar menus as a beer category; is this just a misspelling / phonetic spelling of "lager" or is this word just spelled differently in Ireland?

What am I missing?


I honestly thought it was just a super common misspelling but I've seen it in 4 different places in the last 2 weeks so I'm curious if it's something more than that.


Is lager a bottom fermented beer that's put into a bottle that's bigger than normal? (Now, I'm trying to be an ass.)

I blame text messaging for the general decline in standards.

A pub in Leixlip had a sign up outside FOOD BEEN SERVED. I went in and told him it should be spelled BEAN. And so it was but only for a day. <!-- s:-) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:-) -->

I've seen "Alistation pups for sale"

I believe its spelt "larger" (spelt lager anyone? MAF?) because thats the way some English people pronounce "lager".

Another one that I see written regularly is using "formally" instead of "formerly".

Would that not be "Food being served"? <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

Seriously, it's just people who can't spell. Or can't use simple grammar like the difference between; which & witch etc or more commonly; there, their, they're

Unless of course a Larger is just a bigger serving? Someone should insist on that if they order a larger. Expect a bigger serving than if they just order a lager.

Anyone using bad spelling or grammar in this thread is open to ridicule. Typos excepted. <!-- s:twisted: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_twisted.gif" alt="" title="Twisted Evil" /><!-- s:twisted: -->

Just like the typical Irishness of being unable to say the word "specific" and it comes out as "Pacific". Also the "th" becomes a "t" so many Irish say tree instead of three, I can let that one slide because three in Irish is [i:mtgcd0de]Trí [/i:mtgcd0de]and is pronounced [i:mtgcd0de]tree[/i:mtgcd0de].
