Dianna's Weekly Dash of Different Diction

Welcome to this week's Dash of Different Diction. Sorry we're a bit late this week. It wasn't on my calendar to write it so I forgot! Today's word is take away. When you're in a restaurant here, instead of being asked "Here or to-go" you'll be asked "sit in or take away". So, essentially, take away is synonymous with to-go. There is also a difference in pricing between sit in and take away. Sitting in is always a bit more expensive even for something as simple as coffee from Starbucks. When you sit in there they usually give you a non-disposable cup.

Speaking of eating, tipping is different in the UK compared to the US. Stay tuned for next week. Instead of a word, we'll go over tipping!
