The poor slobs filling the coffee orders at Starbucks don't control the names of the drinks. They are required by corporate policy to respond to your request for a "large" by confirming that you are getting a "grande" because that's what it says up on the menu next to the price. They are confirming what the actual business transaction is. They aren't doing it because they are pretentious or in order to be jerks to you. They are doing it so they don't get fired. How pathetic is it for them that not only do they have a crappy low paying job, but they have to deal with pedants who probably won't even tip them?
If you want a "large" coffee, go to Dunkin Donuts. If everyone does this, then Starbucks will go out of business, and the poor slobs will end up working at Dunkin Donuts serving "large" coffees.
