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"

Nuts only make sense in something that's already hard, like a cookie. It complements it by going from something hard-ish to another hard-ish texture.

Nuts in cake DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. I hate having to chew something smooth and spongy and suddenly - CRONCH. It's repulsive. 99% of the time it also tastes worse than the cake itself. If you actually want to put nuts on your damn cake, put it on the top so I can slide it off and eat it separately. Thank you.

Anyway not anyways. I don’t care what the dictionary says. Anyways sounds backwoods, plural, and the “s” is pointless.

That my wife HAS to dust off her feet before getting in bed. Dirty bed? Go fudge yourself!

When saying "Next" in reference to a time "Next" means the soonest occurrence of that. Don't skip one. If today is friday and I say "Next Saturday", that is tomorrow, not 8 days from now.

US newspaper headlines.

"Polilitician lies, world ignores, carries on."

I get the idea is to abbreviate to fit as much in, but it hurts my mind every time! There has to be some retention of language!

Why not just always use fewer. It's really effortfewer to do so.
