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”

    Apparently the creator of the format argued for jif. But then again the g stands for graphics.

    Honestly this whole argument just shows to me that english is way too inconsistent with it’s spelling vs pronunciation. Which is maddening coming from a language where letters correspond one to one to sounds you make.
