They can 'get' mars bar from the gas station anytime they want

I've changed my mind, actually I think 'Please may I have a...hit' would be much better.

My life dream is to open a poncey cafe just so when people say 'Can I get a...' I can say 'No you can't [long pause] but I will get it for you.'

I thought it was just a shortening of lavatory, which is of course yet another "wash room" euphemism. I've never really understood the idea that euphemisms are to be avoided anyway. I think their origins are often really interesting.

FWIW I can understand euphemisms for traditionally "taboo" subjects like toilets, sex etc.
But when it comes to things like "downsizing" for "sacking all our staff" and that type of corporate or political shite, I hate it. And I'm a copywriter for a marketing agency who spends a lot of time trying to persuade people to avoid it.

Just got an email (from the director of HR) with "all be it cold" in there.
How do I go about telling her it's "albeit"?
Or do I just "bone apple tea" this? -

There was half a dozen simple spelling mistakes too, which I let slide but the "all be it" part really pissed me off.
Luckily it was an off topic email to the running club, nothing important or relevant to the organisation. -
