Yay Starbucks!

I think that I am going to start commending companies that use big words in advertisement.  Maybe it is a snob thing for me, or maybe it is just the fact that I think that brains today need to be challenged sometimes.  Maybe it is just that I like to look smart every once in a while although my smartness is definitely something that can be questioned.  Anyway, today I received an e-mail from Starbucks advertising various new products, and was pleasantly surprised to see the word "accoutrements" used to describe the syrups and coffees that Starbucks is currently promoting.  We can debate whether it is a proper use of the word (which would probably better fit the syrup than the coffee itself) at some other time.
