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”

    I’m with you. For me it’s decimate to mean " destroy most of" instead of destroy 10%. Deci literally means one tenth. How much do you think a deciliter is?

      You can decimate an opposing army an infinite number of times and never defeat them. 🤷

        The last soldier who’s lost most of their body one tenth at a time would like to disagree with you

      the word decimate could be interpreted as “reduce to tenth” that would make the act “destroy 90% of”
