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”

    To be fair, UFO is an initialism, not an acronym. But at the same time, if it was, I think it’d still be an example, because we’d likely pronounce the U like “oo” (as in “boo”), lol

      Nearly all acronyms are technically initialisms

        Nah, there’s plenty of both, even mixed in very similar subject matter. Example:

        An ATM (initialism) takes a card then asks you for its PIN (acronym).
