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”
What you’re saying makes s lot of sense, but how do you speak dates?
When did you start working your current job? It was in 2022, Aprill 11th
What’s your anniversary date? We were married on 2012, September the 9th.
People don’t talk that way, which is how writing them down got to be the MMDDYYYY format in the first place. Technically, it was MMDDYY exclusively until mid 1999.
But why do people put the year last when speaking? It’s no less arbitrary. We were just socialized to say it that way, so now it “sounds more natural,” but it’s not.
Also, speech doesn’t dictate writing. Do British people say “11th April” out loud?
