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 do love, however calling it Xitter where X is pronounced “sh”

      Like Xi Jinping. (Shi )

          Wikipedia says. ʒI: where “ʒ” is the S in pleasure or the g in beige

          Shitter

            That’s fine, it’s just hard to know without hearing native speakers’ pronunciations and you’ve only read it. Thanks for the reply!

        X-Twitter is almost acceptable (ex-Twitter, not wrong)

        Also liked when I read the other day “… Twitter, now called X, …”
