Chatterbox at Slate wastes a few minutes of my day making the argument that a MooLatte is poorly named. The reason seems to stem from the fact that if you changed one vowel it would be a the archaic word "mulatto."
Here I was hoping that they would tell me whether I need to make the drive to a Dairy Queen to try one of these things and Chatterbox just says that a few people hard of hearing might misunderstand the word? And I will say that the spell check just thought that MooLatte should be mulatto.
This reminds me of the teacher who was fired for saying niggardly in class.
