What was once shaved ice is now shave ice, and I now see "ice tea" on menus, instead of the erstwhile "iced tea". Is there a trend to drop the "d" from adjectives, and what do you think of this?

Which brings us to one of my favorite queries:
Which would you rather drink? An ice cold beer or a nice cold beer?

You may well laugh at my educate guess, but I think it's a much-publicize trend largely attributable to misinform people whose overrate teachers should have made more concert efforts to ensure that their underprivilege students received a well-round education.

The former is an abomination. The latter is an oxymoron.
Ted wanders off to make sure his Guiness is cool, NOT COLD DAMMIT!!!!

Say, Ted, another thing we have in common... I like my pint closer to room temperature.

Oh- Ice cold--or even better, served over ice..
I am not much of a beer drinker, and even in US, the idea of putting beer into a glass with ice, is unacceptable-- most beer drinkers say Yuck!-- some think i should be stopped from doing something so disgusting in public, but i like it that way.

Maybe you don't put ice in your beer in the States, but you sure as hell chill it to within an inch of its life! Every time I drink beer in the States, the first swig just about has my fillings exiting, stage left.

I recognise the problem, we had a friend from Venezuela and when he came to the house we had to put all the beer in the freezer as the fridge just wasn't cold enough for him! Ouch!

Proving once again that de gustibus non est disputandum. (That phrase is so universal that even I can mangle it in 4 languages!) But perhaps the two views might converge when "room temperature" shoots up above 30 degrees Celsius.
I say this because the Germans in Namibia often take their beer with ice, something they wouldn't dream of doing in Bavaria.
