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"

If you’ve ever had a cat sit in front of a toilet paper roll and spin it, you will appreciate having the open end toward the wall so it doesn't fully unravel

The phrase "design language" is overstated and pretentious. Anywhere design language is used the word design, by itself works. Design encompasses all the elements that unite an object into a cohesive work.

The phrase design language started with internet articles needing to pad their word count.

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.

As I've said before, the distinction between countable and uncountable quantities is lost on most people nowadays. In my opinion, the rampant overuse of the word "amount" (instead of "number") is the clearest indicator of this problem.
