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"

People should stop purchasing things from Nintendo. The literal worst company I've ever been a fan of.

It's addictive, not addicting.

Stoplights at a junction should be done in phases and not in straight on green and turn on green only if it's clear.

If you have a 4 way junction then each way should green for you to go straight or turn off for a period of time.

Oxford comma.

The kilometre—with the accent on the ki and the re ending—is a unit of distance. A kilometer—with the accent on the lo and the er ending—would be a device that measures kilos, like perhaps a bathroom scale? centimetre, millimetre, speedometer, altimeter.

I'm actually fairly forgiving about people saying it the wrong way, but when Siri gives me GPS directions, it really grinds my gears. She should know better!

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

Having general AI on games makes me skip them, I'll be skipping Mecha Break after I saw that NPC that you can literally talk to, just a giant waste of time and a reason to not pay voice actors, I really don't want to go back to the time where you had to type what you wanted to do in an interpreter in King's Field.
