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”

    Loose and lose bother me. When I see these words used incorrectly, I become mildly irritated.

    I figuratively would of had fewer of a reaction if less persons made that missed steak… literally.

      Do non native speakers get a pass, or at the very least some slack? I mess it up now and then.

      People who can’t get «couldn’t care less» right should be eternally incarcerated. It’s not poor grammar, just stupid.
