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”

    Its just a silly notion that you either choose a Greek root or a Latin root for a word. No mixing, just "wrong"😊

    It bugs me less than directly translating English expression into Norwegian (my native toung). Some of them just sounds weird

      I didn’t know that, I think I know a few modern words that use a mix. Couldn’t come up with one for this comment, though
