dinner with a non-foodie/the importance of the capitalization of proper nouns.
- Ben: Opentable says 9:30 - that okay?
- Midori: Omg that's late. Do you want to try calling them again and see if you can get an earlier spot?
- Midori: There's also ten tables - it's Boston's "best affordable romantic restaurant", apparently? But if you're sold on the burger, I won't try and change that.
- Ben: Haha you think that would be offputting to me? A little simple "romantic" restaurant?
- Midori: ?
- Ben: We went to Haru last week, I've had my mass market glitz/glam fix.
- Midori: I agree.
- Ben: So why would telling me that it's little and romantic make me not want to go?
- Midori: No, I didn't think that...? I thought that it not having a burger would.
- Ben: But it has a burger, the best burger, no?
- Midori: Yes, Radius does. So I thought since Ten Tables doesn't, you wouldn't want to go
- Ben: Oh oh oh. "ten tables" is a restaurant - I thought Radius only had ten tables in it or something.
- Midori: LOL no. Hahaha. Aw, cutie.
- Ben: What!
- Midori: HAHAHA. I see what happened.
- Ben: "There's also ten tables"
- Ben: To a non-foodie that sounds like, "The room contains only ten tables"
- Ben: Foodie to normal person communication fail.
