Orange juice isn't good unless you're juicing oranges you picked from some random person's yard in Florida. Best damn juice you've ever had.
My hot take: spelling and grammar rules don't matter much, as long as you're getting your point across. That being said, when people use the word "everyday" as something other than an adjective, it drives me absolutely crazy (ex. "this is an everyday activity" is correct, but "I do this everyday" is not--that should be two separate words).
Orange juice actually isn't orange juice unless it comes from Orange County region of California. Otherwise it's just non-sparkly lemonade.
Flat orange-flavored drink
We don't do geographical indications in the US, but we do have some trademarks that are owned by industry associations in a region, like The California Raisins.
Spelling and grammar should be appropriate for their context. Expecting every comment and post and casual conversation to follow the APA or Chicago manual doesn't make any sense, but you also shouldn't be using a casual voice in formal communication.
This. Couldn't have said it better myself.
most branded orange juice is just diluted with alot of sugar, or some kind of powder. the orange color is from dye, true orange juice is yellow, plus a little pulp.
