An English professor was forcibly removed from a Manhattan Starbucks because she refused to participate in a grammatically incorrect exchange with a barista. The New York Post reports that, when asked, "Butter or cheese?" on the toasted multigrain bagel she ordered, Dr. Lynne Rosenthal refused to answer. "'I just wanted a multigrain bagel," Rosenthal told The Post. 'I refused to say 'without butter or cheese.' When you go to Burger King, you don't have to list the six things you don't want. Linguistically, it's stupid, and I'm a stickler for correct English.'" Such a stickler that, when the barista persisted, she screamed at him and required three cops to remove her.
