And no “water with a twist of lemon/slice of cucumber” goofs. Water isn’t allowed.

    If I ask anyone for a glass of water, they’re going to get me the same thing because they know what I mean. No one is going to get me a glass of orange juice or tea or 7up, even though that’s technically also water.

    You know what OP means. You’re being ridiculous.

      so then do you agree that they wouldn’t bring you lemon water or cucumber water? clearly you didn’t ask for those. but OP explicitly calls those out as ‘no goofs’. so where’s the line?

        They obviously wouldn’t, they’d just bring tap water or bottled water or something. What are you even talking about.

          The whole point of this conversation is that OP is excluding drinks on some arbitrary line that no one else understands. If lemon water isn’t allowed then what is?

            OP is excluding drinks that aren’t regular water, this isn’t complicated.

            If you went to a restaurant and asked for water, what would they give you? Probably something from the tap, or a bottle, or a purified pitcher. Maybe mineral water, but that’s as much additive as you’re going to get. It wouldn’t even be sparkling, and they’re certainly not going to give you milk and smugly tell you “well TECHKNIQUELLY its water!” you damn dork. You know what OP means, you’re being ridiculous.

              If you’re in other countries they most definitely will give you sparkling water if you don’t clarify you want water ‘sans’ carbonation.
