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”
I’m with you. For me it’s decimate to mean " destroy most of" instead of destroy 10%. Deci literally means one tenth. How much do you think a deciliter is?
You can decimate an opposing army an infinite number of times and never defeat them. 🤷
the word decimate could be interpreted as “reduce to tenth” that would make the act “destroy 90% of”
