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”

    Kilo is just a prefix meaning thousand. Your bathroom scale doesn’t measure kilos it measures grams in sets of 1000.

    Well technically it measures newtons but I digress

      Ooh, I sense the presence of another hill! The vernacular use of “kilo” as short for “kilogram” must stop?

      I love that in the US media, you only ever hear about kilos in the context of drug seizures. Those evil drug lords poisoning the youth with bastardized metric jargon…

        No I use kilo all the time as shorthand for kilogram. Context usually does the work.
