Sadly, the article linked used the cheese quesadilla/casadia misspelling as an example.
Quesadilla (Mexican Grilled Cheese Sandwich) is the conjoining and contraction of Queso (Spanish for Cheese)and Tortilla. Only with added ingredients is a modifier required; Chicken, Beef, Bean, etcetera.

The confusion in regards chile, chili and Chile continues to amaze me. "I recently enjoyed a bowl of green chile chili while on vacation in Chile."

That happens at all the Cotton Patch restaurants. They wait until you have just taken a bite to come and ask!

It's happened at a number of places. They no longer ask "How is everything?" I guess they don't want to open the door to complaints of any nature other than the food.

At Kroger they sometimes ask "Did you find everything okay?" when I am checking out.

Sometimes I get a blank stare when I answer "No."

Well here's an Eggs-ample of misuse of words. "The Broken Yolk" cafe. My bro and I went in and he ordered his eggs hard cooked with broken yolks. He got two eggs sunny side up and that was after we waited 15 minutes for our food. He hasn't been back there, but I gave them one more chance with my wife in tow and the service was just as slow and both our orders were totally wrong. The sign still says Broken Yolk even though they apparently don't know the definition of the term. "rlol"
