The Great Semantics Debate

Posted on February 1, 2010 no comments

Okay, I think I’ve talked about this before, but it recently came up in conversation again, so I’m curious….

Picture this scenario:

You’re out of food and you need to get more. You say “I’m going to the _______.”

A) Store
B) Grocery
C) Grocery Store
D) Bar

I vote “B” but others will disagree with me, saying that “the store” is more appropriate. I have a fully developed argument for my position, but am curious as to what you guys think.
