Grand means OK. Commonly used in response to: "How are you"? Also indicates that something is suitable and/or correct.

Don't worry about it! It's grand! I was thinking about throwing it out anyway.

Grand

adjective: Magnificent, wonderful, very good or of exceptionally high quality. As a result of an ingrained cultural cynicism and suspicion of that which purports to be very good, the Irish use this word to mean 'okay', or 'ordinary'.

Irishman 1: Was the drive here alright?
Irishman 2: Ah yeah, it was grand.
Irishman 1: So, how was the skydive last week?
Irishman 2: Ah it was grand too.

Grande

A spanish word, supposedly meaning "large", bastardized by the Starbucks marketing machine to mean medium; their 16oz coffee.

I hate going into a Starbuck's for coffee. The dumbass baristas always treat me like an idiot because I confuse a "Tall, "Grande" and "Vente". Grande is spanish for large, right? "Short" is the only size that makes any sense and "Vente" is an Italian word! WTF is that?! Why can't they just call them small, medium, large and extra large anyway?
