if you say it fast enough it could be the same thing....lmao And that's what I do, so it comes out "icetea" and who knows if it is a "d" or a "t"? The reality is that unless I am somewhere that it would be in question what I'm asking for, I simply order "tea" and then the waitress asks "sweet or unsweet" and then I have to decide if I'm going to choose sweet (and the bad-for-diabetics sugar) or unsweet (and then sweeten it with bad-for-everyone artificial sweetners). Plain unsweet is not an option for me And yes, I have to make the decision every time I order.

Used to say iced tea before I moved to the south. Now it's either sweet or unsweet (not unsweetened), don't even have to say tea. Tea is always iced, if you want a cuppa, you have to specify hot tea.

ICED. I HATE when people say ice tea. This. A total pet peeve of mine. It's more of a written thing though. As others have pointed out, they sound the same spoken.

When I write it, it's Iced Tea. When I say it, it sounds like Ice Tea.

Iced tea. And while I live in the south I don't ever drink "sweet" tea. I order "regular tea with lemon" and still sometimes get the sweetened version. I ALWAYS say unsweetened, just in case. There's really nothing worse than an unexpected mouthful of sugar. If someone wants unsweetened iced tea, that's what they need to order. "Regular tea with lemon" doesn't mean unsweetened.
My DH always orders unsweetened and has never gotten sweet tea by accident.

Iced. However, tea should be served hot, in a china cup.

This is a hard one. I say "ice tea" but I write "iced tea". I guess I don't have a problem saying it incorrectly but I can't bring myself to write it that way.
