What does one do after being told "You are wrong!" after trying to explain that marinara does not necessarily mean seafood?
Post it here of course!!! I had already wasted my breath explaining that in many Romanic languages, using the root word mer, mar or mare for "sea" would usually mean that you'd have to use "fruits of" before the word for "sea" to mean seafood. Except, of course in Spanish, where seafood is mariscos.
Arguing that with someone who has atleast three pasta marinaras a week, on average, is like picking a fight with members of Skid Row 15 years ago.
