For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

    This is a way in which you can discredit any attempt at proposing correct or logical language use. Yes, language changes. Your assertions are still debatable. English is ambiguous enough as is. It’s not ‘showing ads’ to propose some form of consistent or logical usage of words. I’m happy to count that as a petty hill I’m willing to die on.

    And since we’re being petty, it’s either ‘grammatical rule’, or ‘Grammar rule’.
